EPL:Brighton Punish 10-Man Chelsea With Late Comeback Win
By Sportsgister
‎Brighton & Hove Albion came from behind to defeat a 10-man Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge in a dramatic Premier League encounter.
‎
‎Chelsea looked to be in control early on. In the 24th minute, Enzo Fernández headed home after a well-placed cross, giving the hosts a deserved lead. Their dominance, however, unraveled shortly after half time.
‎
‎Just eight minutes into the second half, Trevoh Chalobah was shown a red card following a VAR review. He was judged to have denied Diego Gómez a clear goal-scoring opportunity. From that moment, the match shifted.
‎
‎Brighton made their move late. In the 77th minute, Danny Welbeck rose to head in a Yankuba Minteh cross and level the game. Then, deep in stoppage time, Maxim De Cuyper nodded in a second before Welbeck struck again with a composed finish to seal the outcome.
‎
‎The result ends Chelsea’s home unbeaten run and raises serious questions about how the Blues cope when reduced to 10 men. Meanwhile, Brighton’s resilience under pressure was rewarded with a famous away victory.
