Brighton & Hove Albion can take some credit for England's win against Japan in their Rugby World Cup match on Sunday night, after one player took "inspiration" from Roberto De Zerbi's side.
In the 56th minute of the match, with the score at 13-12 to England, England prop Joe Marler accidentally headed the ball on to assist Courtney Lawes for a try and to extend their lead in the game.
While most players stopped, Georgian referee Nika Amashukeli had chosen not to blow his whistle for foul play, suspecting the ball had gone backwards before striking a head – which is not considered a knock-on. After checking with television match official (TMO), a try was ultimately given.
Speaking after the game, Marler joked that Brighton & Hove Albion were behind his successful assist - not that he knew much about, let alone intended, the headed pass.
"I take huge inspiration from Roberto De Zerbi and his mighty Seagulls who did a demolition job on [Manchester] United yesterday," Marler joked.
Brighton, of course, comfortably dispatched Manchester United 3-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday, with Danny Welbeck, Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro all scoring for the Seagulls before Hannibal Mejbri took away their clean sheet.
The result means that Erik ten Hag's side have now lost three of their first five fixtures in the Premier League this season. They next face Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville says the Glazers are responsible for the club's troubles following the defeat to Brighton, though, passionately ranting on social media.
"I've just got back from Old Trafford and you always have to be optimistic pre-match but the most concerning thing is what we ended up watching wasn't a surprise," Neville wrote.
"This wasn't a lack of effort or a group of players not interested. This was a team well-beaten by opponents that were well drilled and knew what they were doing. Simple as that…
"Oh and yes the Glazers are responsible. It's how it works. You own a business and everything good and bad sits with you! They inherited the best in all areas. They've overseen 10 years of mediocrity off the pitch and on the pitch. They set the culture of greed, ill-discipline, indecision and uncertainty that runs right through the club."
