Graham Potter's final match as Brighton boss was almost reason alone to hire him at Chelsea. It was everything he worked towards across three years on the south coast and there were already Blues fans watching it with a sense of frustration.
Chelsea themselves had just scraped past West Ham at home, coming from behind to win 2-1 the day earlier - with the Hammers seeing a last-minute equaliser ruled out by VAR. That was the last league game Thomas Tuchel managed. Just over 24 hours later and Brighton moved into fourth with a 5-2 victory over a hapless Leicester.
Chelsea have won three of the next five league games, Brighton have drawn two and lost three. Potter has switched clubs but his methods have remained in the footballing world, but his fortunes have transferred.
