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.

Chance! Brighton go in search of an early goal and Fati has the opportunity to shoot from just inside the box. But sends his attempt straight at Foderingham.

Paul Heckingbottom makes just a single change from United's last-gasp win over Wolves. It is an enforced one, too, with McAtee replacing the injured Rhian Brewster, who limped off last weekend with a knee injury. Hamer shakes off a hamstring concern to start, but Oli McBurnie and Anel Ahmedhodzic remain on a lengthy injury list alongside the likes of Chris Basham, John Egan, Tom Davies, Rhys Norrington-Davies and Daniel Jebbison.
