Neal Maupay’s instinctive finish cancelled out Enda Stevens’s opener to give the Seagulls a share of the spoils, and Webster felt it was just rewards for their efforts.
He said, “It was a difficult game and not many teams leave here with something, because they are relentless in the way they play and always put you under pressure.
“We defended very well and we couldn’t do much about their goal. We would have liked to have been better on the ball, but the most important thing is to be solid in defence.
“If you give a team like Sheffield United a leg up then it’s always going to be a challenge as they are very good at defending a lead.
“We reacted well to going behind, and I don’t think we gave them too many more chances.”

Webster reflected on the game’s two main talking points - Ben Osborn’s handball inside the box and John Lundstram’s challenge on Lewis Dunk. He admits that Albion lacked that little bit of luck.
“On another day we might have had the penalty and also the red card for a challenge on Dunky, which seemed to be a horrible tackle. That could have gone for us.
“But the main thing is if you can’t win, don’t lose. That’s what we’ve done in the last couple of games, and if we can come away with a win next week then that will be massive for us.”
The centre-back was also delighted to be back in the team and to see Dan Burn alongside him having recovered from a broken collarbone.
He added, “I am really pleased to be back, as playing in a three really suits us. Today was a bit different because of the way Sheffield United press.
“We didn’t have as much of the ball as we would’ve liked and conceded a bit too much possession at times. Normally we look to dominate the ball.
“Having Dan Burn back is massive because he’s a big character and has played a big part in what we’ve done this season. We’ve got a near fully fit squad, with a lot of competition and if you’re not up for it then you won’t play. That drives everyone on.”
