Matt44001720: Saints have no ability to chase a game! This game was over when Brighton scored their 2nd!

No penalty. The Saints full-back tripped himself amongst a group of Brighton players.

Albion breathe again.

Southampton 1-2 Brighton

Surely not this again? We're going to have a VAR check for a foul on Walker-Peters in the box.

Ward-Prowse swings it in but a Brighton man rises to head clear.

The danger isn't over, though, and a long pass nearly finds Ward-Prowse in the box. He slides but can't get a meaningful touch.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United interim manager Paul Heckingbottom speaking to Sky Sports on how much time he has had working with the players: "Actually working with them, none. It wasn't official until last night that I could take the game. That's posed its problems but I've known it could happen the past 24 hours or so. The players are fine, they've been good as gold."

On his team selection: "Obviously it's not related to any work we've been doing. It is a team we think can give Leicester as many problems as we can."

On what he's asked from the players: "Attitude, performance. It's its been a difficult week for lots of reasons but you've got to start somewhere. It's not an excuse, we have to put in a performance."

Saints have a corner, though.

lutenilawi: Southampton look like a team lost. A pale imitation of how they started the season. Defence looks leaky, midfield is easily overran and the final ball gives the forwards no chance.

SRichardsonHT: This is turning into a drastic decline for Southampton given where they were. Hasenhuttl seemingly unable to reverse the form. Is he vulnerable?

Three minutes will be added to the end of the game. Saints have barely laid a glove on Brighton this half.

Southampton's last change sees Dan N'Lundulu replace Stuart Armstrong. Last throw of the dice.

Most Sheffield United fans knew a second season in the Premier League would be the equivalent of a difficult second album - but now the club has lost its front man and its beating heart.

Chris Wilder restored pride to a club which had unravelled in League One and took them to the Premier League in the space of three seasons.

A Blades ballboy, player and then its leader, he brought entertaining football to a new army of fans, and still caught the bus to go down the pub with his mates.

In a global league, he was Sheffield United's everyman.

Brighton have got good control of the game. It doesn't look like they are in a lot of trouble. If they were to throw this lead away then I think Graham Potter might start fearing the worst.

Job done. Trossard is currently the match-winner. He departs to be replaced by Jakub Moder.

Trossard gets in down the left but dwells on the ball and when his low cross does come it is blocked behind. That is going to be his last act.

Sheffield United travel to Leicester for today's match which kicks off in just over 15 minutes.

It's been a sad week for the Blades as it was confirmed yesterday that manager Chris Wilder has left after almost five years in charge.

The ex-defender became manager in May 2016 and took them from League One to the Premier League in that time.

A statement from club , externalsaid the 53-year-old had left by mutual consent following discussions between the board and Wilder.

Under-23s manager Paul Heckingbottom will take charge for the rest of the campaign but he only linked up with the squad today.

He took charge of the U23s on Friday afternoon and was not involved in training yesterday due to covid protocols.

It's just not happening for Southampton. A cross from the left floats harmlessly out of play. Hasenhuttl is furious.

The change of system at half time has had a big impact. It is what has changed the game and got Brighton into the lead. They looked lopsided in the first half, the system just wasn't working for them at all.

Into the last 10 minutes. All about game management for Brighton now. They've not been great at it lately.

Saints are desperate. They've offered very little.
