Brighton Secures Dramatic 3-1 Comeback Win Over 10-Man Chelsea in Premier League

Brighton staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, overcoming Chelsea's early lead and capitalizing on a second-half red card to Trevoh Chalobah that left the Blues with ten men. Chelsea initially dominated, with Enzo Fernandez scoring the opening goal, but their discipline issues, marked by consecutive red cards in recent games, have led to disappointing results. Brighton's resilience was highlighted by goals from Danny Welbeck (two) and Maxim De Cuyper, exploiting the numerical advantage and better chances after the sending-off. Chelsea's performance raised concerns about the team's ability to compete for top honors this season, as they now face a tough schedule including a match against league leaders Liverpool. Brighton's victory not only boosted their standings but also reinforced their growing confidence and identity under new coach Fabian Hurzeler. The result marks Brighton's third win over Chelsea in 2025, deepening the struggles of Chelsea under manager Enzo Maresca.
