How did Man Uniteds Bruno Fernandes score winner vs Brighton AFTER fulltime whistle was blown

It took 40 minutes for things to really get going when Neal Maupay opened the scoring for Brighton with a chipped "Panenka" penalty, conceded by Bruno Fernandes, and the striker duly performed his trademark "cry baby" celebration.
