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.

Brighton look to turn up the pressure as they send a dangerous free-kick into the box. But the United defence are alert and just about manage to clear their lines.

Chance! Robinson fails to clear a cross and the ball breaks kindly for Buonanotte in the box. But he can only fire wide of the right post.

United have never lost against Brighton in their four previous Premier League meetings. Of course, they must come from behind today to keep that run going.

Brighton are still a goal to the good as we hit the midway point in this first half. The hosts are certainly good value for their advantage, enjoying around three-quarters of the possession.

Heckingbottom watches on from the sidelines as Brighton neatly maintain possession and look to build momentum towards a second goal. The Blades need to respond.

Although United trail, their deficit could have been greater had it not been for Foderingham, who has already produced a couple of decent saves to deny Fati.

GOOD SAVE! Brighton suddenly open up the United defence with Fati latching onto Buonanotte's throughball. However, Foderingham produces a smart reflex save to deny him.

Brighton have scored for a 12th successive Premier League game. But they will now be hoping they avoid conceding in a 12th successive Premier League game. Liverpool were the last team to do that in the English top flight, doing so in 1966-67.

The Blades arrived today as the only Premier League side yet to register a point on the road this season. They will have to come from behind here in order to stop the rot.

There is a concern for the visitors as Foderingham stayed down and was in need of attention following that goal. However, the goalkeeper is eventually cleared to continue.
