\u00a3200 million trio ($266 million) of attacking additions in the transfer window, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, beginning to click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cunha curled in his first goal for the club from outside the box to open the scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Casemiro&#8217;s deflected effort doubled United&#8217;s lead before half-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sesko then teed up Mbeumo to fire in at the near post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Danny Welbeck&#8217;s brilliant free-kick and Charalampos Kostoulas&#8217; header set up a nervy finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Mbeumo smashed home his second goal to seal the points in the 97th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>United surge ahead of Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham into the Champions League places and within three points of leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunderland&#8217;s dream return to the top flight after an eight-year absence goes on after Chemsdine Talbi&#8217;s stoppage time winner at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Black Cats already seem set to buck the trend of all promoted sides being relegated straight back to the Championship in the past two seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea looked like they would be the side to go second in the table when Alejandro Garnacho drilled in his first goal for the club after just four minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunderland levelled midway through the first half when Wilson Isidor bundled in from close range after Chelsea failed to clear a long throw-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visitors comfortably held the Club World Cup winners at bay in the second period before landing the sucker punch on the counter-attack in the 93rd minute when Brian Brobbey teed up Talbi to curl perfectly into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defeat leaves Chelsea down in seventh and any hope of a title challenge fading fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We were not good enough and in the Premier League the consequences can be bad,&#8221; said Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If you want to be there (challenging for the title), you need consistency.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newcastle beat Fulham 2-1 thanks to captain Bruno Guimaraes&#8217; 90th minute strike at St. James&#8217; Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob Murphy pounced on an error by Calvin Bassey to give the Magpies a first-half lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sasa Lukic headed in Fulham&#8217;s equaliser just before the hour mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Marco Silva&#8217;s men fell to a fourth consecutive defeat that leaves them hovering just above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guimaraes swept home the rebound after Bernd Leno had saved William Osula&#8217;s initial effort to propel Newcastle up to 11th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool slumped to a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat as Brentford bullied the defending champions in a 3-2 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goals from Dango Ouattara, Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago secured victory for the Bees, who climb to 10th in the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool slip to sixth and could be seven points adrift of leaders Arsenal by Sunday as their title defence has collapsed in spectacular style over the past month. <a href=\"https:\/\/japantoday.com\/category\/sports\/man-utd-beat-brighton-sunderland-stun-chelsea-to-go-second-in-premier-league\">(JapanToday)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United climbed into the Premier League&#8217;s top four with a 4-2 victory over Brighton, as Sunderland went second after stunning Chelsea 2-1 on Saturday.
