Goal hero Jayden Bogle says Sheffield United still have belief they can survive after Brighton performance
and live on Freeview channel 276
Bogle came off the bench to make his league debut for the Blades, and then put Chris Wilder's 10 men 1-0 ahead with a deflected left-footed effort.
United couldn't hold out to secure their first win of the current campaign, as fellow sub Danny Welbeck scored from close range close in the game.

"We showed great fight in our box and going down to 10 men showed the character we have in the team," said the former Derby man.
"We'll keep fighting and making it difficult for other teams.
"Every point is important in the Premier League and it was a great performance as well. We'll take it into the next game.

"We definitely believe we still have a chance. We have a great dressing room and coaching staff. It's important we continue putting in positive performances on the pitch, and things will start to turn for us."
Bogle may make his first Premier League start in the coming weeks, after John Lundstram's red card at the AMEX Stadium further depleted United's midfield resources after news that Sander Berge will miss the next three months with a rare injury he picked up against Manchester United.
Predominently a right-back, Bogle started his senior career as a right-winger and may come into Wilder's thoughts as he looks to address the problem caused by the absences of Lundstram and Berge.

"It was frustrating that we didn't manage to see out the win but on a personal level, I'm very happy."
