Ten-Man Brighton Held To 1-1 Draw At Home To Sheffield United

Brighton are held to a 1-1 draw at home to Sheffield United, extending Brighton’s winless league run to six games.

The frustrating result for Brighton brings them back down to earth, following their triumphant win over Ajax in the Europa League. Roberto De Zerbi’s side are now without a win in their last six Premier League games.

The home side took the lead after just six minutes through a fabulous solo goal from Simon Adingra. The Seagulls were well in control heading into the second half, restricting Sheffield United to zero shots on target.

De Zerbi made some attacking substitutions to try and kill the game off, bringing on Joao Pedro and Kaoru Mitoma, but Mahmoud Dahoud’s straight red card changed the swing of things. The German midfielder was dismissed for a dangerous challenge on Ben Osborn.

Do you think he should’ve been sent off for this? 🤔#BHAFC pic.twitter.com/uYssIWKz98

Sheffield United quickly capitalised on their one-man advantage when Jaden Bogle’s cross led to an own goal by Adam Webster, levelling the game.

The result lifts the Blades off the bottom of the table above fellow strugglers Burnley. According to the best football betting sites, Paul Heckingbottom’s side are now priced at 4/1 to avoid relegation.

Meanwhile, Brighton hopes for a top-six finish have taken a hit. The Seagulls are priced at 15/8 to achieve such a finish, while a top-four finish is priced at 8/1.

Following the international break, Brighton will travel to Nottingham Forest, while Sheffield United will play Bournemouth at Bramall Lane.
