Mitoma's 'Messi-like' Goal Powers Brighton Past Chelsea 3-0

Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma scored a stunning opener against Chelsea in a 3-0 victory, drawing comparisons to Lionel Messi from pundit Jamie Carragher. Mitoma's goal, which came in the 26th minute, showcased exceptional skill as he controlled a long ball from goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen before curling it past Chelsea's Filip Jorgensen. Carragher praised the goal as one of the best in the Premier League this season, stating it was 'pure genius.' Chelsea's struggles continued as they failed to recover from the setback, marking their fifth consecutive match without a win. The team's injury woes, including Noni Madueke's hamstring issue, further complicate their situation as they aim to improve in the league. Manager Enzo Maresca faces increasing pressure as speculation grows over his future with the club amidst their poor form.
