Brighton have made a couple of changes for the second half with Igor Julio on for Adam Webster and Tariq Lamptey, on a booking, replaced by Jakub Moder.

We're back up and running with the second half.

The stats don't favour Sheffield United as they have never won a game when they are trailing at half-time, losing 10 of 11 such games.

But they were playing better at the end of the first half, a goal back and who knows.

These players have given Chris Wilder something to show that they're still in this game.

An encouraging end to the half by Sheffield United, but Brighton lead 2-0.

Sheffield United have been so much better in the last five minutes, they've have had so much more belief.

James McAtee is doing an admirable job of leading the depleted Sheffield United attack and he is everywhere across that front line. He wins a corner after a lovely bit of control, but Brighton deal with the set piece.

Tariq Lamptey is booked as he fouls James McAtee as the Sheffield United man tries to lead a counter.

Wes Foderingham makes a good save to push over a Lewis Dunk header from a corner.

There's seven minutes of stoppage time, but that VAR shenanigans just now means there will be a couple of minutes more than that.

No goal. The Sheffield United fans are understandably confused but it looks like Ben Osborn was in an offside position when he hooked home.

What an incident packed first half.

I tell you what, if they don't give this goal then I wouldn't want to be walking out of here with Stuart Attwell later.

McAtee does well there [to win the corner] and that's exactly why he's been put in that role.

Sheff Utd 0-2 Brighton

Referee Stuart Attwell is called to look at the screen for the second time in this game...

Sheffield United think they have a goal back from a corner, Ben Osborn appearing to hook in from close range, but it is disallowed.

VAR will have a look, however...

I'm sure when Sheffield United fans get home and watch Match of the Day Two, they'll realise the decision to send Mason Holgate off was right.

Kaoru Mitoma and Danny Welbeck link up inside the Sheffield United area but Auston Trusty is able to clear as Mitoma attempts to force his way through to goal.

A rare break on the counter for Sheffield United as Ben Osborn finds James McAtee but the midfielder's first touch is very heavy and Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen collects the ball.
