Graham Potter says Brighton should have done better with Sheffield United's "route one" goal as Blades extend unbeaten run with 1-0 win
and live on Freeview channel 276
United had two goals ruled out by VAR but still claimed a third consecutive Premier League win – and still haven’t lost away from Bramall Lane since January.
VAR intervened to deny John Egan and Jack O'Connell either side of half-time but with Oliver McBurnie on target in the 23rd minute, the Blades left the south coast with all three points.

Hide AdIt extended their unbeaten away league record this season to nine games and they were rarely in danger during a one-sided clash played in relentless drizzle at the Amex Stadium.
But Potter said: “It’s a poor goal. It was as route one as you can get and we don’t deal with it.
“As a collective we need to take responsibility and hold our heads up and that includes me. We weren’t good enough.
“We weren’t at our best clearly. We struggled to find a way through and it was a tough afternoon for us.
“We huffed and puffed and tried. It wasn’t through lack of trying, I didn’t think. But, at the same time, we weren’t good enough, simple as that.”
