Yahoo Sports Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
A late Simon Adingra double capped a 5-0 win for Brighton at bottom side Sheffield United, who played most of their Premier League match with 10 men after Mason Holgate was sent off.
Facundo Buonanotte and Danny Welbeck scored early in the first half after Holgate, who joined United this month on loan from Everton, got his marching orders in the 13th minute following a knee-high challenge on Kaoru Mitoma.
Mitoma’s cross was put through his own goal by Jack Robinson in the 75th before Adingra scored twice within seven minutes to seal Brighton’s first Premier League away win since November.

Brighton secure the three points at Bramall Lane with an emphatic 5-0 victory over struggling Sheffield United. The Blades had a mountain to climb from the early stages of the game after Holgate was sent off for a reckless challenge on Mitoma. Shortly after, Brighton struck twice through Buonanotte and Welbeck and the Seagulls went into the break with a 2-0 lead against 10 men. De Zerbi's side came out in the second half with plenty of attacking intent despite their comfortable position in the game, and an own goal from Robinson made it three for Brighton. The Blades were a lot more compact in the second half, but the Seagulls continued to be relentless in front of goal, and a double from Adingra later in the game secured the victory at Bramall Lane. Up next for Sheffield United is a difficult trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Brighton will host Everton at the Amex Stadium next Saturday. That's all for today, goodbye!

All the noise is coming from the away end at Bramall Lane, with a large section of the Sheffield United support heading for the exits. They've seen enough as Wilder's side struggle to get back into the game. The Seagulls have been relentless in front of goal and are showing no mercy!

Norwood plays in Brooks down the left-hand side and he sends a first-time cross into the box, but Igor is there to clear it away. Sheffield United have a throw-in and Robinson will launch it into the penalty area. Dunk heads it away but straight back to Robinson. He floats in a cross and Ahmedhodzic nods it towards goal, but it goes wide of the post.

Brighton have continued to dominate the possession in the second half, making 111 passes in the final third while having 86.9 per cent of the possession. Sheffield United are camped inside their own half and attempting to hit the Seagulls in transition. Credit to the Blades' defence, they've looked a lot more compact since the break.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:34
Another chance for Brighton! The Seagulls have a corner and Gross is standing over it. He delivers towards the six-yard box and Ferguson makes a run away from goal, twisting and getting his head to it. Unfortunately for him, it's straight at Foderingham who makes a comfortable save.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Buonanotte, who opened the scoring for Brighton in today's game, is substituted. Ferguson will come on to replace him.

15:28
Mitoma contiunes to cause issues for Sheffield United down the left-hand side. He receives the ball and instantly looks to take on Bogle, drifting past the defender and getting to the byline with ease. He fires a shot towards goal, but it's deflected behind for a corner. Gross delivers into the box, but Bogle can head it clear.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:27
Sheffield United attempt to hit Brighton on the counter-attack again. A corner comes into the box and Foderingham comes out to collect it. He quickly fires a long ball beyond De Zerbi's defence and McAtee latches onto it. He delays as he waits for support from his team-mates, but the Brighton defence outnumber him and win the ball back.

15:22
Buonanotte is the latest player to go into the referee's book for a late challenge in the middle of the pitch.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:22
The Blades enjoy a spell of possession inside the Brighton half. They take a quick throw-in and the ball reaches Souza in space outside the box. He gets it out of his feet and attempts an ambitious long-range effort, but he drags it wide of the post and it goes behind for a goal-kick to Brighton.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:21
Brighton work the ball well as Van Hecke finds himself in space just outside the penalty area. He fakes to shoot and then fires a pass into the feet of Adingra. The Brighton winger turns and gets away from his marker, before striking towards goal. However, it's a tame effort and Foderingham makes a comfortable stop.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:18
McAtee finds Larouci on the left-hand side in plenty of space and Sheffield United look to break. He attempts to take on Van Hecke, but Adingra works hard to get back and dispossess the full-back. The Blades need to make the most of these opportunities whenever they win back possession, as Brighton aren't allowing them to have a lot of the ball.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:18
Brighton are keeping the ball well in the early stages of the second half, relaxing in possession and remaining patient. Gilmour now finds Mitoma out wide and the Japanese winger cuts inside onto his right foot, but his shot is blocked and Sheffield United are able to clear.

De Zerbi makes a change at the break. In defence, Igor is introduced for Webster.

15:10
After his side had conceded twice and were down to 10 men, Wilder opted to bring on a defender for his only striker on the pitch. Brighton created 2.18 expected goals (xG) in the first half, so the Sheffield United boss had to tighten up his defence. The Blades became more resolute and prevented another goal after Trusty was brought on, but the supporters at Bramall Lane might want to see a little more in the final third. Although it's an uphill task to get back into the game, Wilder's men need all the points they can get. Could we see Brewster or McBurnie introduced early in the second half as they push to find the back of the net?
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
15:05
Brighton go into the break with a 2-0 lead over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. The Blades started brightly and were applying pressure on the Seagulls, but Holgate made a reckless challenge on Mitoma early in the first half, and after a VAR review, the referee sent the defender off. From that moment on, Wilder's side were up against it. Shortly after, Brighton took the lead as Buonanotte headed home from a few yards out. It didn't take long for De Zerbi's men to grab a second, with Welbeck pouncing inside the box to fire the ball into the back of the net. Sheffield United did have the ball in the back of the net through Osborn, but the goal was disallowed due to offside. The home team have a mountain to climb in the second half.

A corner comes into the box from Gross towards Dunk, and the Brighton defender manages to head it toward goal. It's flying towards the top corner, but Foderingham makes a superb stop to tip it over the bar and behind for another corner to the Seagulls. Gross delivers again, but Sheffield United are able to clear.

Brighton are looking to keep possession in the final few minutes of the half as they try and prevent Sheffield United getting a goal before half-time. The Seagulls are remaining patient and waiting for an opening, but the Blades are camped inside their own box hoping to remain tight and maintain the current scoreline.

14:50
The fourth official has indicated that there will be a minimum of seven minutes of added time at the end of the first half.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:47
Sheffield United will now have an opportunity from a corner. McAtee bursts down the line and gets in a foot race with Van Hecke, before the Brighton defender puts it behind. It's delivered towards the back post and then headed back across goal, and Osborn puts it into the back of the net! But wait... the referee has blown his whistle and it won't count!
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:46
Another opportunity for Brighton. Lamptey receives the ball on the left-hand side of the box and works it onto his right foot, before delivering into the penalty area. Welbeck rises highest and attempts to head towards goal, but he gets it all wrong and it flies into the stands behind the goal.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:44
Adingra stands up his marker and looks to float a cross towards the back post with Mitoma waiting. It's headed away but Webster chests the ball back into the feet of Adingra, who shifts it onto his right foot and strikes towards goal, but it sails over the bar and behind for a goal-kick.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:44
Sheffield United have looked tighter at the back since the change and are attempting to hit Brighton on the counter-attack. Osborn wins it back and looks to spot the run of McAtee who has burst forward from midfield, but his touch is a little heavy and the ball rolls through to Verbruggen.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:40
Since the game got under way, Brighton have made 160 passes inside the opposition half, touching the ball in Sheffield United's box 17 times. The Seagulls have had 78.4 per cent of the possession and are looking comfortable, helped by Holgate's sending-off earlier in the match.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:38
The Blades are struggling to get out of their own half at the moment, and the substitution from Wilder hints that they could be going for damage limitation in this game. They need to tighten up at the back with Brighton dominating proceedings, or it could get messy for Sheffield United.

Almost a third from Brighton! Mitoma twists and turns and gets to the byline, leaving Bogle in his shadow. He strikes towards goal but his shot is blocked, before Gross and Welbeck both attempt to find a third as there's a scramble inside the box, but Sheffield United manage to clear the danger.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:30
Brighton are continuing to push and Sheffield United are struggling to deal with wave after wave of attacks. The ball comes into the box and the Blades can't quite clear it, and it falls to Adingra who sends a volley towards goal, but it flies over the bar and out for a goal-kick. Wilder's side need to settle down and try and remain resolute at the back.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:26
Goal Daniel Nii Tackie Mensah Welbeck
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:24
What a chance! Mitoma and Lamptey link up on the left-hand side before the ball comes back to Dunk. He whips a dangerous cross towards Welbeck who can't quite get there, and Robinson gets an important touch at the back post with Buonanotte flying in. He was unmarked at the back, but the Sheffield United defender has put it behind for a corner.

It was always going to be a tricky game for the Blades as they fight to pick up points in their battle to climb out of the relegation zone, but an early red card for Holgate has made things a lot more difficult. Wilder has changed the shape slightly and it's certainly not ideal to have to alter their game plan in the first half.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:19
There's a problem for Sheffield United now as goalkeeper Foderingham has gone down. The medical team are on the pitch and giving him treatment at the moment and there will be a short delay as he receives attention. He's now back on his feet, and it looks as though he will be able to continue.

Brighton keep the ball across the back line, patiently waiting for an opening. Van Hecke receives it and spots the run of Gross beyond the Sheffield United defence. Gross has burst away unmarked, but he can't quite get it under control and the ball falls to Foderingham between the sticks.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:11
So close to a Brighton opener! Webster plays a ball into the channel which Adingra latches onto it. He shifts it onto his right and delivers low into the area towards Welbeck. Ahmedhodzic flings himself in front of the cross and it's heading towards goal, but Foderingham palms it away. The ball was inches away from creeping over the line!
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:10
Dunk sends a searching ball over the top looking for the run of Adingra, but Ahmedhodzic does well to intercept. Brighton now have a throw-in in a dangerous position, but Welbeck handles the ball after play resumes. The Seagulls are dominating the possession in the early stages, as expected.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
14:05
Early chance for Sheffield United! McAtee dances through the challenges of multiple Brighton defenders and creates space for himself outside the box. He turns and spots the run of Bogle inside the penalty area, before feeding the ball into his path. Bogle gets it out of his feet and takes aim towards the bottom corner, but Verbruggen gets down well to make the save.

Meanwhile, De Zerbi has made three alterations from Brighton’s 2-1 defeat at Tottenham last time out. In goal, Steele drops out of the team and will be replaced by Verbruggen. At the back, Webster is named in the starting XI, with Estupinan dropping to the bench. Adam Lallana fails to make the squad, so Adingra will play from the beginning of the match.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
13:53
Wilder has made two changes from Sheffield United’s 3-1 victory over Luton in their previous match. In defence, Larouci comes in for the injured Rhys Norrington-Davies and is likely to slot in at left-back. Up front, joint-top goalscorer Cameron Archer misses out, with Osula coming into the starting XI.

Brighton will be looking to turn their away form around after a tricky run of games on the road. Roberto De Zerbi’s side are winless in their last six away Premier League matches (D2 L4), their longest winless run away from the Amex Stadium since a seven-game streak under Graham Potter between September and December 2021. The Seagulls lost 2-1 against Tottenham in their previous fixture, conceding a last-minute goal with Brennan Johnson scoring the winner. Playing against the side who currently sit bottom of the Premier League could be a chance to gain some momentum, but the Blades showed plenty of fight last time out.
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
13:37
Sheffield United currently sit in 20th place in the Premier League table, but they will be hoping to continue their momentum after picking up an impressive result last time out. The Blades defeated Luton Town 3-1 at Kenilworth Road, ending a seven-match winless streak (D2 L5). Chris Wilder’s side have conceded more goals at home in the division than any other side (31 in 12 games). In Premier League history, only West Brom have shipped more goals in their first 12 home games of the campaign (2020-21). Today, they will face a Brighton side who haven’t beaten the Blades in their last seven league fixtures, with their last victory coming back in 2005.
