Goals from Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes secured a 3-0 victory for the Red Devils.

Leicester are in fact the first club in English top-flight history to manage the unwanted feat.

Bobby DeCordova-Reid's late equaliser against the Seagulls remains the club's last home Premier League strike.
