EPL: Brighton 1-0 Man Utd
Gross celebrates the opening goal, given by GDS
Pascal Gross' second-half header guaranteed Brighton's Premier League status following a 1-0 win over a flat Manchester United on Friday Night.
Gross broke the deadlock with a close-range header which fell 2.8 centimetres over the line - confirmed by the Goal Decision System - on 57 minutes, after David de Gea's superb save from Glenn Murray's dipping volley kept the scores level at the break.
Both sides had chances in the second half to score the second, but United were well below-par as they look to finish the Premier League season on a high ahead of the FA Cup final against Chelsea.
The result means 11th-place Brighton are safe following their first Premier League season, while Jose Mourinho's United still have work to do to guarantee second place.
After Marouane Fellaini had seen an early goal correctly ruled out for offside, Brighton's Glenn Murray forced a superb save out of De Gea with a fine half-volley from 25 yards.
De Gea, who was named Manchester United Player of the Season for a record fourth time this week, did well to tip over Jose Izquierdo's long-range effort, and then showed his worth yet again by blocking Pascal Gross from an angle at the near post after some sloppy play by Fellaini.
De Gea's opposite number Mathew Ryan did well to stop a low Paul Pogba effort after the break, but Brighton took the lead on 57 minutes thanks to the help of the Goal-line Decision System.
Izquierdo's cross down the wing was not dealt with by United, allowing Gross to pile in from six yards out and head inches over the line, despite Marcos Rojo's best efforts to keep the ball out.
Izquierdo nearly doubled Brighton's lead moments later, but fizzed an effort just wide at the far post with United on the ropes and both Pogba and Anthony Martial, in particular, struggling to influence the game.
Martial did strike just wide towards the end, while sub Jesse Lingard miscued from a clear opportunity inside the box after a well-worked one-two with Martial.
