Sheffield United moved off the foot of the Premier League table by coming from behind to claim a point at 10-man Brighton.

The Seagulls led for much of the game through Simon Adringa's wonderful early opener but were left to rue a failure to convert their dominance into further goals.

The match turned on Brighton midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud's senseless 69th-minute red card for a raking challenge down the back of Ben Osborn's leg.

Brighton defender Adam Webster turned Jayden Bogle's cross into his own net to bring the Blades level only five minutes later.

And Bogle wasted a great chance to earn Paul Heckingbottom's visitors back-to-back victories by firing wide with only Brighton keeper Jason Steele to beat.

Brighton remain eighth while the Blades move above Burnley, and off bottom spot for the first time since their 8-0 thumping by Newcastle on 24 September, but are still four points from safety.
