Sheffield United 0-5 Brighton: Key stats
- Published
Sheffield United have conceded 65 goals in the Premier League this season, the most ever by a side in their first 25 matches of a campaign. In fact, it’s the most shipped by any side in their first 25 games of an English top-flight season since Ipswich Town in 1963-64 (70).
This was Brighton and Hove Albion’s biggest ever margin of victory in an away top-flight match, and biggest on the road in any league outing since February 2000, when they won 7-1 at Chester City in the fourth tier.
Brighton have had 12 Premier League goals scored by teenagers this season (excl. own goals), the most by a side in a campaign since West Brom in 2012-13 (14).
Sheffield United have netted more own goals than any other side in the Premier League this season (4), while it’s also the most they’ve put through their own net in a campaign.
Pascal Groß provided his ninth assist of the season in the Premier League, now the outright most by a Brighton player in a campaign. He created eight chances in this match, the second-most ever by a Brighton player in a Premier League game, behind his own tally of 10 v Watford in February 2019.
Since the start of 2021-22, no player has been given more red cards in the Premier League than Sheffield United’s Mason Holgate (3). In the 13th minute, his was the earliest straight red card given to a player in a game since Nathaniel Chalobah for Fulham v Newcastle in October 2022 (8th min).
