McGoldrick put the Blades in front after 19 minutes after a series of attempted clearances and ricochets allowed the striker to shoot on the turn and wrong-foot goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. It was a messy goal from Brighton’s perspective.
Albion were poor in the first half but improved after the break. Jakub Moder had a goal ruled out by VAR for offside, while Danny Welbeck and Neal Mauapy both missed chances.
Brighton have not scored in their last three matches but remain seven points above the drop with five to play.

13. Aaron Connolly 5/10
Replaced Moder on 67 minutes but just couldn't get on the ball. Had one effort on goal from distance that was blocked
14. Izquierdo 6/10
Great to see him back in action but no fairytale return. Had one shot from distance saved by Ramsdale
