Brighton vs Sheffield United LIVE: Premier League result and reaction
Brighton 1-1 Sheffield United: The Seagulls drew with the Blades in a Premier League encounter
It’s now a run of six Premier League matches without a win for Brighton who were held to a 1-1 draw against Sheffield United at the Amex Community Stadium this afternoon.
The Seagulls started the match eighth in the table and looked set to collect all three points after they stuttered through October. Simon Adringa’s goal six minutes into the game gave them the early and things stayed that way until the second half. Mahmoud Dahoud was shown a red card for the hosts and sent them down to 10-men.
Sheffield United netted five minutes later through an Adam Webster own goal but couldn’t press their advantage to claim a win.

Can the visitors respond in the second half. The Blades did register four shots during the opening 45 minutes, but not one of them was on target. They must address that upon the restart.

Brighton lead Sheffield United by a goal to nil at the Amex Stadium. The hosts made a bright start and took the lead after just six minutes when Simon Adingra played a neat one-two with Facundo Buonanotte before slotting past Wes Foderingham. Roberto De Zerbi's side have certainly been good value for their lead so far.

United look to equalise in the dying seconds of the first half. McAtee has a shot blocked before Baldock's attempt is too high and not troubling Steele.

Good effort! Foderingham is alert and punches a free-kick clear. It goes to Gilmour and the ball sits up nicely for him 30 yards from goal. His dipping volley is on target and the goalkeeper is forced to tip it over the crossbar.
