Tom Davies’ haircut jokingly labelled ‘worse than Mason Holgate tackle’ as striking trim shocks fans

Sheffield United have been put to the sword by Brighton but Tom Davies’ new haircut has arguably been more of a shock.

The midfielder came on in the 79th minute at Bramall Lane with a vastly different trim to his familiar curly blond locks.

Davies made his way onto the field with a striking mohawk, something that was jokingly labelled worse than Sheffield United teammate Mason Holgate’s terrible challenge on Kaoru Mitoma, a tackle which earnt the defender a straight red.

One fan said: “Has Tom Davies lost a bet?”

Another said: “Good God Tom Davies… what a barnet.”

This fan added “I hope Tom Davies has done that for at least a tenner…”

While another said: “I don’t know what’s worse, the tackle on Mitoma or Tom Davies’ haircut.”

It was a miserable day for Chris Wilder’s side as they succumbed to a 5-0 defeat against the Seagulls.

Goals from Facundo Buonanotte and Danny Welbeck in five first-half minutes puts the away side in charge.

The first half also saw Holgate dismissed for a high challenge on Brighton forward Mitoma.

Mitoma was fit to carry on as Brighton made it a rout in the second half with an own goal by Jack Robinson and a double from Simon Adingra making it a 5-0 thumping.

The result leaves Sheffield United bottom of the Premier League on 13 points, while Brighton leapfrog Newcastle into seventh.
