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.

It finishes all square at the Amex Stadium, where Brighton and Sheffield United play out a 1-1 draw. The hosts made a bright start and took the lead in the sixth minute through Simon Adringra and they were good value for their advantage. But the pendulum swung in United's favour in the 69th minute when Mahmoud Dahoud was shown a straight red card for a stamp on Ben Osborn. The visitors capitalised on their numerical disadvantage within five minutes as Adam Webster turned Jayden Bogle's cross into his own net. It is a goal that lifts the Blades off the bottom of the Premier League table, while Brighton remain eighth. Both sides are back in action on November 25 when Brighton travel to Nottingham Forest and United host Bournemouth. Thank you for joining us today. Until next time, goodbye!

FULL-TIME: BRIGHTON 1-1 SHEFFIELD UNITED
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sheffield United
A late concern for the visitors with Bogle staying down and in need of attention. They will ready a substitute for just in case he is unable to continue.

A free-kick is floated deep into the United area, but the visitors do well to maintain their concentration levels and deal with the danger.

Brighton are awarded a free-kick right on the edge of the penalty as we enter the first of five additional minutes at the end of this game. Thomas trips Balepa and this is a decent chance for the hosts.

United enjoy a neat spell of possession as they look to fashion an opportunity to score a winner. Bogle tries his luck from distance, but his attempt is straight at Steele.

Just three minutes remain at the Amex Stadium. Can either side find a dramatic winning goal, or are we set for a stalemate here?
