Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Chaos! Brighton leave Stamford Bridge with a victory, after a mesmerising second-half comeback gave the Seagulls an eye-catching 3-1 win over Chelsea! The match completely changed when Chalobah received a red card in the early stages of the second half. The Blues were in the lead, thanks to Fernandez’s 24th-minute header, but Brighton devastatingly exploited their numerical advantage as Welbeck equalised. The visitors netted two more goals, through substitute De Cuyper and another typically calm Welbeck finish. An undoubtedly tricky period for Chelsea has dramatically worsened, as they’re now winless in three Premier League games. Meanwhile, Brighton earn their second victory of the top-flight season. Maresca’s side posted more possession (58.8%), while Hurzeler’s men pipped them on expected goals (xG) with 2.01 to 1.70. This result moves the visitors up to tenth, while Chelsea drop to seventh. Next week, Chelsea will welcome Benfica to West London in the Champions League and host Liverpool in a mouthwatering top-flight clash. The Seagulls face a less daunting task, travelling to Molineux to play Wolves in the Premier League next weekend. We hope you’ve enjoyed this live text commentary! Thank you!
