It was a night for Manchester United fans.

Their beloved team defended their Premier League title.

It's a great feeling.

Although they are well aware that it is only a matter of time before the team defends their title, they are still in a good mood when they win the title.

Fireworks were set off in countless squares across the city, and the night was buzzing.

However, there are always some trolls who are not in a good mood on the Internet.

Manchester City fans: "Just a little fireworks? It's a far cry from when we won the championship before, hehe. ”

Manchester United fan: "No, no, no, we're just saving a little because we still have to celebrate the FA Cup and the Champions League. ”

Manchester City fans: "......"

It's a good feeling to win the championship.

But for the Manchester United players, the real challenge has just begun.

Four days after the win over Bournemouth, Manchester United are in contention for a place in the next final.

FA Cup semi-finals.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United face Brighton & Hove Albion.

As a relegation team this season, Brighton have basically reached the relegation goal ahead of schedule.

With three games remaining, they are seven league points clear of fourth-from-bottom Swansea.

Unless Swansea win three in a row, they will be able to overtake Brighton.

And it will take Huddersfield Town and Southampton to win back-to-back games to knock 15th-placed Brighton down.

But Brighton are unfazed.

If they had the ability to score points, wouldn't they have won the game and scored points earlier?

What are they waiting for?

Therefore, after reaching the relegation task ahead of schedule this season, the next goal is to try to create a miracle on the FA Cup stage.

Previously, they had won back-to-back Premier League top-ranked teams, notably Tottenham Hotspur, with a stunning 2-0 win over London to reach the last four.

Now, they have a stronger opponent – Manchester United.

It's so hard to win against Manchester United.

However, their Ghana coach Hughton's answer to the media was neither humble nor arrogant.

"It's not easy to win against Manchester United, is it easy to win against the previous team? Brighton can get to where they are now, relying on tenacious willpower and fighting spirit to create miracles. In this game, we are still doing our best to win! ”

Against a strong Manchester United, Hutton definitely didn't give up hope.

As a 60-year-old coach, Hutton has been in the Premier League for many years.

After playing for Tottenham for many years, he became Tottenham's youth team manager in 1993.

In 2008, he officially became a first-team coach and coached Newcastle.

Birmingham and Norwich have also left his mark.

He arrived at Brighton in the summer of 2014 and became Brighton manager.

He led the team to successfully surpass last season and led the team to successful relegation this season, and he contributed a lot and was the hero of the team.

And in the FA Cup, he has a chance to pull off even greater miracles.

Even Jose Mourinho has great respect for the old Ghanaian coach.

The two men talked amicably on the sidelines, as if this was not a battle of bayonets, but a friendly match.

The friendship between the two teams is not only at the level of the coach, but also at the level of the players.

On the pitch, Xia Xing was also chatting with two current Brighton players and former teammates.

Conokett, Leicester City striker, Xia Xing's former friend.

In the summer of 2015, he left Leicester City to join Brighton in favour of a regular position.

Although he got the main position, it was a pity to miss out on the season of Leicester City's miracle.

And with the constant injuries, his form has always been inconsistent and not at his best.

Another old teammate is Argentine Ulloa.

He moved to Leicester City from Brighton in 2014 and was a first-hand witness to Leicester's miracle.

However, with the departure of stars such as Xia Xing and Kante, the team's form has also declined.

Ulloa's place in the squad is also not guaranteed, having left Leicester City on loan this winter to move to Brighton.

However, he still hasn't found his best form here.

The two old teammates who were not so happy looked at Xia Xing in front of them, and they were infinitely emotional.

"Xia, I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to be a teammate with you."

"yes, I didn't expect I to have a Golden Globe friend, hehe."

Xia Xing patted the two of them on the shoulder and said some words of encouragement.

But he knew it in his heart.

Cutthroat competition, that's the truth of football......

In this game against Brighton, Mourinho did not send several main players.

It's still based on the bench.

And today is also a rare triple captain in the same frame.

Xia Xing partnered Carrick, Rooney burst forward, and was flanked by a combination of Anthony Martial and Mata.

Facing Brighton and Hove Albion, Manchester United are full of confidence.

And the game went just as they imagined.

In the 12th minute of the game, Xia Xing took the ball in the midfield, and shook off the defense by pulling the ball out of two consecutive actions.

A long diagonal pass, looking for Rooney!

Rooney gets forward quickly and volleys from outside the box!

The ball hits the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United scored first!

Fifteen minutes later, it was Xia Xing's cross from the left wing.

This time, Xia Xing still performed his side dribbling skills, and his old teammate Knoket was in front of him, but he was still unable to prevent him.

Xia, you're a lot stronger than you were at the beginning......

Xia Xing connected the two and crossed during the decisive period!

Look for Rooney in the middle!

However, Rooney was still a step slow and did not grab the best header.

But that's okay, the opportunity is still there!

Rooney struggled to jump and hit the back post with a header!

Anthony Martial at the back post sprints quickly and volleys in the air!

Goalkeeper Matthew Ryan knocks the ball out with both fists!

The ball landed right in front of Rooney, who landed on the ground after scrambling for a header!

Rooney stabs with his feet!

The ball rolls into the far corner!

2 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

Just before half-time, Rooney was again on the back of the ball by Michael Carrick, but the shot slid wide of the net.

In the second half, Manchester United still took the initiative.

In the 61st minute of the game, after Xia Xing broke through with the ball on the left side, he suddenly knocked horizontally!

Carrick quickly followed, with a straight kick!

Rooney, who stepped forward, stopped the ball accurately and swept it with his feet!

The ball pierces the net!

3 to 0!

Wayne Rooney scores a hat-trick!

Manchester United is stable!

Excitedly, Rooney rushed to Carrick, who was giving him an assist, and the two hugged tightly!

Xia Xing, Martial and other players ran up and hugged the two captains!

Seeing this scene, Alan Shearer couldn't help but be moved in the live broadcast room.

"It's amazing that Wayne Rooney can perform so well at this age!

"Brilliant hat-trick!

"Three perfect goals!

"I don't know if this will be the last hat-trick of Rooney's career.

"But it must have been an unforgettable hat-trick!

"And the veteran Carrick, who is doing just as well!

'Two of our England team-mates have gone from strength to strength and played a key role in this important game!

"They are the perfect bearer of the Manchester United spirit!

"Hats off to them!

"Salute to the spirit of Manchester United!" (End of chapter)
