Brighton have drawn their last three Premier League games
Sheffield United's hopes of qualifying for Europe were frustrated as Neal Maupay marked his return to Brighton by equalising.
Enda Stevens' rasping finish put the Blades in control but the lead was short-lived as Maupay got in front of Dean Henderson to nod the visitors level.
Lewis Dunk missed a glorious chance to put the visitors ahead after the Blades lost Stevens to injury.
John Fleck, who signed a new Sheffield United contract until 2023 before kick-off, went close from distance but Brighton were full value as they secured a third successive draw.
