Full-Time: Sheffield United have had a great game. They had a great defensive game despite the red card, they sat back and absorbed Brighton's pressure and hit them on the counter. Burke was our player of the match, he came on and effected the game positively for the Blades. His runs on the counter helped Sheffield get forward and defensively he did his job. Brighton were poor in the final third and repeated their problems of late, not being able to score.
