Another weekend, and yet another defeat to English Premier League side, Chelsea, as the new owners led by Todd Boehly on Saturday, witnessed their side lose to one of the best teams in the league presently, Brighton.
Brighton who were brilliant all afternoon during the game, got their well-deserved win through a stunner from teenager, Julio Enciso to give Brighton all three points away from home.
Brighton came from behind to beat Chelsea in the Premier League in Frank Lampard’s first home match since being reappointed as Blues manager.
Paraguayan forward Enciso, 19, blasted into the top corner from 35 yards to help Brighton continue their European qualification push.
Substitute Danny Welbeck had levelled at Stamford Bridge after Conor Gallagher’s deflected strike gave Chelsea a fortunate lead.
Chelsea’s opener ended a run of four games without a goal.
It was a fortunate strike too as Gallagher’s shot deflected wickedly off defender Lewis Dunk and wrong-footed Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez, back in the team as a replacement for the injured Jason Steele.
Chelsea made six changes from their Champions League first-leg quarter-final loss to Real Madrid on Wednesday and looked disjointed throughout.
Their best chance came at the end of the first half, a Christian Pulisic header from close range striking the outside of the post.
Sanchez did well to keep out Reece James’ cross and then Mykhailo Mudryk’s follow-up early in the second half with the scores level.
Chelsea, who had never lost a home match to Brighton, find themselves 17 points off the top four, closer to the relegation zone than the Champions League spots. Fans also showed their frustration with owner, Todd Boehly.
They face Real in the second leg on Tuesday.
