African Cup of Nations winner Simon Adingra helped Brighton get a big win against Sheffield United in the Premier League.

The Sheffield United side started well but were unable to capitalize on their chances. However, after Sheffield United defender Holgate got sent off in the 13th minute of the game, the Sheffield United hope of getting something in the game faded away.

Brighton striker Bounanotte scored the first goal of the game in the 20th minute. The second goal came through Danny Welbeck a few minutes after the first goal.

The Sheffield United goalkeeper, Foderingham, played a prominent role in making the score line little bit embarrassing.

Although in the 75th minute of the second half, Sheffield United defender Robinson scored an own goal.

Adingra scored two more goals before the end of the second half to give Sheffield United a comfortable win against the team.

How Sheffield United Suffered a Horrible Defeat Against Brighton in the Premier League

The underdogs in the match, Sheffield United, started exceptionally well, with McAtee having a chance to score a goal earlier in the first half of the game.

Sheffield United player Ahmedhodzic was close to giving Brighton their first goal of the game, with his attempt almost going into his own net.

Although United goalkeeper Foderingham had a strong hand on the ball to stop it from going into the net,.

In the 13th minute of the game, Holgate was sent off with a horrible challenge on Mitoma. It was the defender's fourth red card in his career so far. Sheffield United will have to play the remaining minutes of the match with 10 men.

The Brighton opener came in the 20th minute of the match with Bounanotte. A Dunk header touches the striker as the ball is going in. Although the referee was reluctant to give the goal, but he allowed Brighton to celebrate.

A few minutes later, Brighton scored the second goal of the game through Danny Welbeck. Welbeck's first attempt was saved by Sheffield United goalkeeper Foderingham.

However, the second attempt went into the back of the net, with Foderingham having no chance of stopping the shot.

In the 32nd minute of the match, the goalkeeper was forced into another save, with the Sheffield United defenders finding it difficult to stop the Brighton free flow of passes.

Sheffield United scored in the 43rd minute of the match, but it was ruled out for offside. Earlier in the second half, Foderingham made a good save with Adingra's powerful shot.

Foderingham, who had been keeping the score line respectfully, was called into another save in the 68th minute of the match through Evans Ferguson.

Sheffield United's disappointment continued as club defender Robinson scored his own goal in the 75th minute. The defender stretched his leg out in an attempt to stop the ball, but it went into the net.

The Sheffield United fans started leaving the field when Brighton attacker Adingra scored the fourth goal of the game. The attacker met Gross's cross into the box to secure all three points for the side.

Adingra, who had been in fine form since returning from the African Cup of Nations, scored the fifth goal of the game to send Brighton to the seventh position in the Premier League table as they look to secure a European football qualification.
