Chelsea fell to a 3-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. The Blues had taken the lead in the 24th minute when Enzo Fernández rose highest to head home, but the game turned dramatically in the second half.
Just eight minutes after the restart, Trevoh Chalobah was shown a straight red card following a VAR review for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. The dismissal left Chelsea with ten men and shifted momentum firmly in Brighton’s favour.
Danny Welbeck equalised for the visitors in the 77th minute with a powerful header, sparking a late surge from Roberto De Zerbi’s side. Substitute Maxim De Cuyper then struck in stoppage time to put Brighton ahead before Welbeck added his second of the night to seal the result.
The loss highlights Chelsea’s ongoing struggles with consistency, discipline, and defensive organisation. With pressure mounting on the squad, questions will be asked about how they can bounce back in their next fixtures after another setback at home.
