It was not a good afternoon for Chelsea as Graham Potter's unbeaten run as head coach came to a very abrupt end. The Blues boss returned to the Amex for the first time since departing in September and received a hostile welcome that punctuated Brighton's 4-1 win.
The Seagulls were quick to make their presence felt in the game and were 2-0 up within 15 minutes. Roberto de Zerbi's side went up first through Leandro Trossard and soon added a second as Ruben Loftus-Cheek put the ball in his own net from a corner.
Trevoh Chalobah had soon done the same as he looked to cut out a ball across the box, and Kai Havertz's goal only offered a brief respite before Pascal Groß ensured the home side had no worries in the 92nd minute.
