Here the duo SPORT speaks Jamie O'Hara and Jason Cundy reveal their winners and losers from Saturday's Game-Day Phone-In action…
Winners
John Peter
The Brazilian striker headed home against the Red Devils to see new Seagulls manager Fabian Hurzeler win his first game at the Amex Stadium.
And the south coast side will now go into next week's clash with Arsenal full of confidence as they look to secure their third consecutive league win.
Speaking about Brighton's win, Cundy said: “Joao Pedro, the winner for Brighton at the far post, has to be up there.
“To win the game for Brighton and take it from Manchester United, he's there.
“And Hurzeler, what a good start he's had, congratulations to him.”

Erling Haaland
The Norwegian striker created more Premier League history on Saturday and the 24-year-old has now scored at least one goal against all 23 top-flight sides he has faced.
It was Ipswich who took a shock lead at the Etihad through Sammie Szmodics, but Haaland equalised five minutes later before adding two more goals.
He already has four Premier League goals this season and is just six goals shy of 100 in all competitions for the Citizens.
Speaking about the player, O'Hara said: “Haaland has to get in there, score a hat-trick.”
Cundy agreed and simply said, “Put it there.”
Julen Lopetegui
West Ham picked up their first points under new manager Julen Lopetegui thanks to a classy display at Selhurst Park, just a week after their agonising home defeat to Villa.
While O'Hara wanted Regis Le Bris to be the winner after guiding Sunderland to three consecutive Championship wins that saw the Black Cats beat promotion-seeking Burnley at the Stadium of Light, Cundy disagreed.
He also stressed that Spanish coach Lopetegui should be considered one of the winners.
He commented: “He got his first win, it was a disappointing result against Villa last week.
“It was a good win (against Palace), and by the way, it wasn't a great start for (Oliver) Glasner.”

Losers
Arijanet Muric and Jordan Pickford
While Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya may have shone between the sticks at Villa Park, Ipswich goalkeeper Arijanet Muric and Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford were guilty of horrendous errors.
Muric gifted City two goals as a result of his poor decision-making, leading to Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland shooting into an empty net.
Pickford, meanwhile, was robbed by Tottenham captain Heung-min Son, who capitalised on the England international's poor touch to double Spurs' lead.
His mistakes led Cundy to say: “I'm going to include Muric and Pickford in a lump sum.”
“Both of them had the ball stolen in their own area, that can't happen! If there's nothing wrong, don't touch it again.
“For anyone who hasn't seen this, Pickford had a touch with his feet, and we know Son is quick, but once he accelerated, Pickford couldn't move. It was terrible.”
O'Hara later stated: “It's a surprise, an absolute surprise.”

Erik the Hag
After being given another chance by United chiefs following last season's FA Cup win, Ten Hag would have known all eyes would be on him this campaign.
A thumping win over Fulham last week failed to convince his critics and now Brighton are putting the pressure on the Dutchman again.
O'Hara said: “I'm going to put Ten Hag in there. Ten Hag is a big loser today.”
Cundy later commented: “It's a terrible result, they didn't play very well, United, they could have done it if it wasn't for the offside (Joshua Zirkzee's goal disallowed), but it was offside.”

Everton
Things continue to get worse for Everton, who are now bottom of the table after conceding seven goals in two games.
After surviving the drop in each of the last three seasons, this could be the campaign in which they finally leave the Premier League.
O'Hara commented on the Merseyside outfit: “Dyche is going through a difficult time. I think the whole of Everton Football Club needs to go.”
Cundy added: “Can we put them together? Should we put Goodison, Dyche and everyone together?”
“If you're a Toffee, you're there. They've had a terrible start.”
