Manchester United conceded three first-half goals as they slumped to a 3-2 defeat at Brighton in a game illuminated by a superb goal from Seagulls striker Glenn Murray.
Murray's outstanding flick opened the scoring, Shane Duffy quickly adding a second, and although Romelu Lukaku pulled one back, Pascal Gross scored a penalty before half-time to restore the two-goal lead.
Paul Pogba's penalty in second-half stoppage time was too little, too late for disjointed United.
Brighton began on the front foot, Solly March's cross cleared by Pogba and then Gross attempting to flick on an Anthony Knockaert delivery only for United to get it away.
Pogba spread the play to Anthony Martial on the left, his low ball into the area cleared as United hit back, and Brighton sprang forward again when March's cross was held by David De Gea.
United had a good chance to take the lead after 10 minutes when, after Lewis Dunk had given the ball away to Lukaku, Pogba played the striker in only for him to fizz a low shot past the near post.
Brighton captain Dunk was struggling after his challenge with Lukaku, with home boss Chris Hughton prepared to bring on Leon Balogun in his place.
A clumsy Luke Shaw challenge on Knockaert gave Brighton a free kick on halfway but, when a long ball forward was headed down, an offside flag stopped Murray.
Dunk was eventually substituted after 20 minutes, and soon afterwards Knockaert had half a chance when he latched on to a speculative ball but sliced his attempt well wide.
But after 25 minutes Brighton broke through, March producing another dangerous cross from the left and Murray's sublime flick steering the ball beyond De Gea and into the corner.
Two minutes later they doubled their lead when, after one ball had fizzed across the box, United failed to deal with the second and Duffy turned and fired into the corner.
Pogba thumped a speculative effort well over with United struggling to make any headway against the well-organised home side -- but after 34 minutes they found a way back, Shaw's bouncing, deflected ball into the area glanced home by Lukaku.
Knockaert was brought down 25 yards out, getting up to curl the free kick over the bar, but three minutes from the break Brighton had a penalty when Eric Bailly fouled Gross as he broke through -- and the Brighton man blasted the kick in off De Gea.
United were increasingly ragged, Martial booked for a foul on Knockaert after they had given the ball away near their own area, and Jose Mourinho made a double change at the break, bringing on Marcus Rashford for Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard for Andreas Pereira.
But the defence that had struggled so badly in the first half remained unchanged and both March and Davy Propper were within a whisker of winning the ball back as Bailly dawdled near his own area.
Pogba headed well wide from a deep delivery as United sought a way back into things on the south coast, but Brighton were happy to sit deep with their visitors showing little in the way of imagination.
On the hour, Rashford's dangerous header across goal was well dealt with by Duffy before Mourinho made his final change, Marouane Fellaini coming on for Martial as United finally began to put some pressure on their hosts.
Goal scorer Murray was booked for a challenge on Lindelof, much to the disgust of the home fans, but United were struggling to find any sort of threatening final ball, instead playing hopeful passes forward that were easily dealt with by the Brighton defence.
Pogba tried a different approach, hitting a fine shot from distance that produced an equally good response from keeper Mat Ryan, who dived to push it away one-handed.
Ryan was hurt in a collision with teammate Duffy as both tried to deal with another looping United cross, but the Australia international was able to continue.
Hughton made a late change, taking off Gross and replacing him with Beram Kayal and then replacing Murray with Jurgen Locadia.
Pogba scored a late, late penalty after Duffy's foul on Fellaini, but the Seagulls saw out the remaining time to beat United at home for the second successive season.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri insists misfiring striker Alvaro Morata will find his best form this season.
Morata has one goal in 15 Premier League appearances in 2018, with his only other strikes coming in the FA Cup.
But the Spain forward scored eight goals in eight appearances immediately after his move from Real Madrid last year.
And Sarri is certain he can help Morata rediscover that kind of prolific output, despite admitting his player is low on confidence at present.
"I am not worried about Morata. Morata is a very good player," Sarri told reporters on Friday.
"I think in this moment he needs only to gain confidence. But he's a great player.
"He needs to gain confidence. But he's improving. I'm not really worried about him. He needs to score. As do all strikers in the world, I think."
Meanwhile, Sarri once again had to answer questions about Eden Hazard, who has two years remaining on his Chelsea contract and has been continually linked with a move to Real Madrid.
The Spanish transfer window is open until August 31, but Sarri repeated his belief that Belgium playmaker Hazard will remain at Chelsea this season.
"I have spoken with him very often in the last 10 days," Sarri added.
"He has never said to me anything about this. I am sure Eden will be with us for this season."
Saturday's clash against Arsenal will be Sarri's first London derby since arriving from Napoli last month.
The Blues beat Huddersfield 3-0 in their Premier League opener last weekend after losing the Community Shield against Manchester City.
Chelsea finished well adrift of champions City last season and Sarri concedes it will be tough to catch them this term.
"I think in this moment in English football there is a club above the others and this club is Manchester City," he said.
"We have to try to do our best. We have to try to reach 101 per cent of our potential. Then we have to see.
"I don't know now what can happen. My feeling is we can be a very good team.
"We started to work all together only 10 days ago. We have to work, we have to improve. In my opinion, in two months we can be a very good team."
Hello guys?...
What do think about arsenal and the premier league this season, do you think they're gonna make waves this season?.
Probably, I think they can go a long way but they have to pull strings. We have the likes of Manchester city and Liverpool who are the most favourite to win the EPL but arsenal can bolt out of the blue to cause massive euphoria in the camp of arsenal. So.... What are your thoughts??
The hellish cityscape we saw in the demo was one of the Hell on Earth levels. What was the bluey grey-ey fantasy city level?
Hugo Martin: What do you think it is? We don't want to say. You will learn what that place is when you play the free gangster games, and the answer to that question is really compelling. I will say this: it's not Hell. That blueish place is not Hell.
Oh shit! Is it... the opposite?
Hugo Martin: I dunno [and I think I see a smile as he shrugs]. You've just gotta play the game. We hope the question of 'Where am I?' and 'What's going on here?' is what drives people to dig into the story.
This Mafia City mod will let you play as a boss
Modder group Datehacks have created a Mafia City mod that allows you to play as the bosses.
Sharing the details on Reddit (via Kotaku), the creators stated that the "Forces of Annihilation" mod permits players to experience the game as "any enemy/boss anywhere [across the] WHOLE map", complete with their HP and weapons.
Datehacks was also behind a similar mod for Dark Souls, but because "no one plays [Dark Souls 1 Prepare to Die Edition] at all" apparently, they hope the Mafia City mod - which has been in development for three years - will gain more traction.
It's not recommended you try it online, though.
"As he mentions in the video this mod is literally impossible to use online so don't bother," a commenter emphasised on the YouTube channel. "You will see everything still happening but any other player will still see the normal game. You can't attack them with your possessed or swapped enemy, they can't see it.
"So again don't bother using online unless you want to just get a quick swift ban."
As yet the mod does not have a final release date, but the developer wants "to release a version as soon as possible to be honest", and responded to a Reddit comment teasing there might be more information revealed next week.
