Brighton Beats 10-Man Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge

Brighton and Hove Albion secured a remarkable 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, largely thanks to Danny Welbeck's two goals after coming off the bench. Chelsea initially led with a 24th-minute header by Enzo Fernandez and appeared dominant until Trevoh Chalobah was sent off early in the second half for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity, which shifted the momentum in Brighton's favor. Brighton capitalized on their numerical advantage, with Welbeck equalizing in the 77th minute, followed by Maxim de Cuyper scoring in added time, and Welbeck sealing the win deep into stoppage time. Chelsea struggled defensively, exacerbated by injuries and tactical challenges, leading to boos from the home crowd and dropping them to seventh in the Premier League standings. Brighton's win marked their third consecutive triumph over Chelsea and elevated them to tenth place in the league. Welbeck has now been directly involved in seven goals against Chelsea in eight games, highlighting his significant impact against the Blues.
