Low Sheffield United player ratings all round but no question who is the lowest after 5-0 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion

Sheffield United lost 5-0 at home to Brighton and Hove Albion.

After a scoreline so big, there were never likely to be many high marks but one man unfortunately stood out for the mistake which set the ball rolling.

Wes Foderingham – should have been stronger for the second goal but little he could do about the rest 5

Jayden Bogle – subduing Karou Mitoma is no easy task and Bogle could not do it 4

Mason Holgate – totally let his team-mates down with a ridiculous tackle 1

Anel Ahmedhodzic – headed a great chance wide and then almost gave a goal away straight after 4

Jack Robinson – a natural reaction to stick out a leg but his own goal started the late collapse, his long throw out of play with every outfield player at Brighton's end summed it up 4

Yasser Larouci – given the nod after Rhys Norrington-Davies' injury and was unable to justify it 5

Gustavo Hamer – a disappointing lack of impact 5

Vinicius Souza – a hard ask for a defensive midfielder a man down against Brighton and he struggled to impact the game 5

Ben Osborn – worked hard in midfield and at wing-back, had a goal chalked off for a VAR offside 5

James McAtee – spent most of the game playing as an unlikely No 9 and kept making runs 6

Will Osula – sacrificed before he had been able to get into the game 6
