Blades v Brighton LIVE from Bramall Lane

Key Events

  • David McGoldrick put the Blades ahead
  • Moder later had an equaliser ruled out for offside

from Maupay as the ball goes over the bar from about four yards out with the goal at his mercy - a huge let off for United there

Great chance for Brighton

as the cross comes in from the right for Welbeck, but he can’t get his header on target

from Bissouma as he drives forward and lets fly from just outside the box, Ramsdale is diving in vain and watches it fly wide of his right-hand post

for Brewster, whose wait for a goal in Blades colours goes on

as he gets stripped and ready to come on, Brewster isn’t moving too freely and so might shortly see his game cut short - we’ll wait and see

McGoldrick has a go

after cutting in from the left flank after linking up with Osborn, he looks to curl it home but the ‘keeper saves it comfortable

as he gets his head to a cross/shot but can’t get it on target, but Brighton are continuing to push here for a way back into the game

Goal Brighton.... NO! VAR rules it out!

Moder thought he had put Brighton level, but he was offside when he got on the end of Webster’s header before he finished past Ramsdale - so United still lead at the Lane!

Ramsdale saves again

Aaron Ramsdale comes to Sheffield United’s rescue again, palming Neal Maupay’s shot wide after Danny Welbeck’s flick... - @JamesShield1

Welbeck rises highest

to get his head to a corner but he can’t direct it on target, Moder might have got on the flick-on but he was on the deck after grappling with Stevens - nothing to be given from that, though
