Chelsea suffer their third consecutive defeat (2 in the championship and 1 in the Champions League) under the leadership of Frank Lampard.
The "Blues of London" suffer even under the direction of the new "helmsman" as they were defeated at Stamford Bridge by Brighton with the numbers 1-2. The first time in history that Brighton wins a challenge at Stamford Bridge Stadium.
In fact, it looked to be the right match for Chelsea to start the turnaround as the home side took the lead through Gallagher in the 13th minute. When it seemed that Brighton would suffer, starting with two forced substitutions as a result of injuries, coach Roberto De Zerbi's confidants found the strength to react. It was Danny Welbeck who equalized with a header in the 42nd with just three minutes on the pitch.
In the second half, Brighton had a "march" more and was more active towards the opponent's half-field. Thanks to the constant pressing, the advantage goal came with Encison who scored a super goal from a distance in the 70th minute. Until the end, the result did not change and the friends came out with three points, climbing to the quota of 49 points instead of seven, getting closer to the European zone. On the other hand, Chelsea remains in 11th place with 39 points.
Meanwhile, Tottenham was surprisingly defeated by Bournemouth with the numbers 2-3. Although they took the lead through Heung-Min Son, the friends found the strength to overturn. However, in the 88th, Spurs equalized through Danjuma and then looked for the winning goal. But it was Bournemouth who scored in the 95th minute Ouattaro defying all predictions.
After this match, Tottenham seriously threatens the Champions area as it ranks fifth with 53 points, while on the other hand, Bournemouth climbs to the quota of 33 points in 14th place.
In other Premier League games, Everton were beaten 1-3 at home by Fulham to remain in danger of the drop zone, while Wolverhampton won 2-0 at home to Brentford, while Crystal Palace beat Southampton 2-0 away.
