Brighton secured a hard 2-1 victory over Chelsea in a mesmerizing FA Cup match at Amex Stadium.
The winner of the second half Kaora Mitoma ensured that Fabian Hurzeler’s side had progressed to the next round, while Chelsea remained that the missed misses were missed.
Visitors went to the perfect start in the fifth minute. Jadon Sancho, lively in early exchanges, delivered the ball throughout the area where he found Cole Palmer, who first hit the volley.
Although he seemed to be conceived as a cross, Brighton’s goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen was wrong to consider him, inadvertently helping the ball into his net.
Despite the failure, Brighton replied. Their equalizer arrived in the 12th minute after the excellent passage of playing on the left.
Tariq Lamptey and Joel Veltman combined, with the latter hitting the perfect cross for Georginio Rutter, who stood up between two Chelsea defenders and expertly led his header at the end corner next to Robert Sanchez.
With a game finely placed on 1-1, both teams enjoyed the magic of dominance, but fought to convert promising attacks into clear chances.
FT: What a win in the FA Cup! 🙌

Chelsea’s Enzo Maresca was without key attacks, and he showed, because Blues lacked the potential in the last third.
Sancho and Pedro Net were great in possession, but they could not open a well -organized defense of Brighton.
The second half continued in the same sense, and Brighton is gradually claimed. The disadvantage of Chelsea, it was highlighted in the 73rd minute, when Palmer discerned the volley inside the box, sending the ball harmlessly wide.
A moment later, Brighton introduced Joao Pedro, who immediately made an impact, winning a criminal appeal that waved despite the obvious contact a little thick.
Then in the 57th minute a decisive moment arrived. Routter was in the heart of the move again, smartly spinning in the middle of the field before he found mythomas on the left side.
The Japanese winged player, always a threat, has perfectly determined running to stay on the side and delicately raise the ball over the tilted Sanchez to put Brighton forward. Amex erupted as the home side took control.
Chelsea pressed the equalizer late, and Noni Madueka looked dangerous after getting off the bench. In the time of stop, he passed past defenders and delivered the ball over the goal, only that Jana Paula Van Hecke made the last sparning, preventing a particular touch. This summed up the Chelsea Night – a lot of intentions, but without the end product.
The final speculative effort of Diego Gomez sailed widely before the judge was blowing a whistle with full -time.
