Chelsea’s poor part of the form continues on Saturday because they were thrown out of the FA Cup to the detriment of Brighton & Hove Albion.
Early his own goal of Bart Verbruggen was about as good as Chelsea, whom Georgonio Rutter quickly returned. Kaora Mitoma added a lovely second early in the second half, handing the seagull a victory that rarely looked under the threat.
How the game took place
Cole Palmer forced Verbruggen to switch within five minutes, but ended up from the next corner. The beautiful move that passed by Palmer saw that he had given some space to shoot on the low cross on the left, and his effort clearly captured Verbruggen without fear while Brighton’s plug threw the ball into his net.
It would only take Brighton seven minutes for things to bind. The cross of Joel Veltman expertly led the Rutter chief, who left Robert Sanchez without any chance.
The tensions began to grow, with Brighton’s fans, he cheerfully touched the former seagulls of Robert Sanchez, Marc Cucurella and Moises Caicedo, and that spilled on the field because serious difficult struggles were punished by mild yellow cards.
Brighton took over the lead in the 57th minute through mythomas. The loyal wing player was incredibly well controlled by a high pass and passed through Sanchez’s goal, and his lobed half-piley avoided hunting lines, although the Blues remained frustrated with potential handball that was missed in the accumulation.
Chelsea failed to create anything else in the best times, but as the pressure increased, the blues still looked without a term. A few views on the Verbrugggen network were comfortably solved by Brighton, who are due to the winners while the judge kicked Chelsea out of his misery.

With Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu aside, Enzo Maresca turned to Christopher Nkunku to run the line, and soon became clear how much influence would have on Chelsea’s usual game style.
He lowered Nkinka deep to try to get involved in the upgrade. Although it was sometimes useful, and undoubtedly led to excellent running behind Brighton’s defense in the first half, there were too many time in which in which Chelsea It seemed that the central presence in front of the goal was missing.
At the other end, Routter showed Chelsea what they miss. The Frenchman, a reported January goal for Blues, has amazed a beautiful header and set up Mitoma’s naked goal in what was a wonderful individual account.
For several weeks, Chelsea fans have been questioning access to Enzo Maresca in games. A well -known tactical lineup he promised to bring it is just half installed anyway, but there was less and less significant of anything positive on the ground as the season progressed.
In the attack, Chelsea was toothless. Palmer’s strike for the fourth minute was just Blues’ effort on the target as his side tried to convey Brighton into obedience. Slowly, laterally passing after a slow, side passing, nothing but cheering fans. Things were not much better on the back, and Chelsea’s setup failed to offer any real security.
Maresca needs to find a solution soon. His side of Leicester City suffered a similar drop in shape last season at a very similar time, and Italian stood on board enough to seal the title of the championship. This season there will be no domestic silver accessories for Chelsea, whose hope they will abolish the trophy are now lying in the conference league.
After shipping seven against Nottingham Forest last time, Verbruggen needed a quiet start to the proceedings here to restore confidence. Unfortunately, he got a complete opposite.
The Dutchman followed the smart advice over his bar with a catastrophic attempt to push the Palmer cross, misinterpreting the ball path as he spilled her to the back of his own net to give Chelsea an early advantage.
Fortunately for Verbrugggen, it was almost a full scope of his involvement here. Allowing him to regain his calm while Brighton went to victory.
