Brighton and Hove Albion 1 Sheffield United 1To see Brighton and Hove Albion in full flight can be a joyous sight but sometimes the problem is that when they are floating around the field like a butterfly, they have the sting of one too.
When they won promotion to the best league in the world, the Blades and their manager Paul Heckingbottom knew there would be halves – even games – like this, and they key was not to let it discombobulate them. For all that the Seagulls are good to watch, they can sometimes struggle to put you out of sight, and this was one of those days.
With the Blades offering negligible threat and failing to get in their faces, there was no pressure on the Seagulls to force the pace. Brighton had 71 per cent of the first-half possession but only six shots to show for it, although they were accurate with it, putting four of them on target. It was four more than the Blades managed before the break. In the 15th minute Adam Lallana played an excellent ball to Ansu Fati, but Wes Foderingham was off his line to deny the Barcelona loanee.
