Brighton Under-21s extend unbeaten Premier League 2 Cup run as Valentin Joseph stars against Sheffield United

Younes Ibrahim looked certain to nod home Tyler Silsby’s floated cross at the far post, but his mistimed header instead fell to summer signing Joseph, who needed no second invitation to fire past Tommy Betts and open the scoring.
