Man Utd had won all four of their last WSL meetings with BrightonRachel Williams scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser as Manchester United earned a point against Brighton in the Women's Super League.
United have become famed for scoring late goals and the striker has now scored four times when coming on as a substitute this season.
Brighton had taken the lead after 30 minutes when Maisie Symonds found Elisabeth Terland, who calmly picked her spot to finish in the bottom corner past Mary Earps.
A magnificent strike from Ella Toone in the 78th minute levelled proceedings before Guro Bergsvand headed home in the last minute for Brighton, who thought they had won the three points.
But United fought until the very end and Williams took her chance off the bench to claim a crucial point.
