Brazil s twin stars shine, Cunha and Casemiro create Manchester United Premier League history

In the 9th round of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated Brighton 4-2 at home, continuing their recent strong performance. During the game, two Brazilian players, Mateusz Cunha and Casemiro, both scored goals, which not only contributed greatly to the team's victory, but also jointly wrote a new historical record for the Red Devils in the Premier League era.

First goal + milestone: Brazilian twin stars shine at Old Trafford

In the 18th minute of the game, Cunha received a pass from his teammate and calmly pushed the ball into the goal, scoring his first goal in the Premier League since joining Manchester United, giving the "Red Devils" the lead. Just 10 minutes later, although Casemiro's shot was deflected into the net by the opponent's player, it was still recorded as his goal, helping Manchester United expand the score to 2-0.

The victory itself is exciting, but what is even more worth remembering is that this is the first time in the history of Manchester United that two Brazilian players have scored in the same Premier League game since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992. This landmark moment marks that Brazilian players finally ushered in their highlight moment at Old Trafford.

Although many Brazilian stars have played for Manchester United before, such as Anthony, Alex Telles, Fred, Andreas Pereira, Rafael, Fabio, Anderson and Kleberson, they have never scored at the same time in the same game. Now, Cunha and Casemiro have completed this historic breakthrough together.

Cunha has become a counterattack weapon, and his long-range shooting ability ranks first in the Premier League.

For Cunha, this goal is of great significance. He said excitedly in an interview with BBC Sports after the game: "This feeling is difficult to describe in words. I have worked hard for this moment. This is the club I have dreamed of playing for since I was a child, and today's victory should become our norm. I am honored to be a member of this team."

"This is the first time I have scored at Old Trafford. This is my dream. Of course, victory is more important than individual goals."

He also revealed the relationship with his teammates. Interesting interaction: "I jokingly told Mbeumo and Sheshko before that I also wanted to experience the feeling of scoring a goal. When I really did it, they said to me: 'Now you can enjoy it!' My teammates gave me great support all day today, and I feel very happy."

It is worth mentioning that since the end of last season, Cunha has scored 7 long-range goals from outside the penalty area in the Premier League, which ranks first among all Premier League players. His excellent long-range shooting ability and active running perfectly fit the fast counterattack tactics advocated by coach Amorim and have become an important weapon on Manchester United's offensive end.

The Red Devils are back in contention for the title, and the intense test of the schedule is coming.

With this victory, Manchester United rose to fourth place in the Premier League standings with 18 points, only 3 points behind leader Arsenal. With the team's third consecutive league victory, morale is high and fans have renewed hope for the prospects of this season.

Coach Amorim's tactical system is gradually taking shape, the team's offensive and defensive rhythm has significantly accelerated, and the overall performance is more aggressive and disciplined. Next, Manchester United will face a dense schedule: first away to challenge Nottingham Forest, then go north to face Tottenham, and return to home against Everton on November 24.

If the current momentum can be continued, Manchester United is expected to further narrow the gap with the top spot and truly join the competition for the Premier League championship this season. The history created by Cunha and Casemiro may be a starting point worth remembering in the Red Devils' revival journey.
