Mason Holgate’s thigh-high tackle on Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma after 13 minutes was labelled “scandalous” and “horrible” as the defender opened the floodgates for another Sheffield United thrashing. “I’m torn,” sighed Chris Wilder, the Sheffield United manager. And I’m angry because as an experienced pro, Mason has to do better. “He’s apologised, he knows he’s done wrong and I understand why the referee sent him off. What I’m not torn about is that if it hadn’t happened we wouldn’t have been done 5-0.”
