BRIGHTON 1-1 CHELSEA: One player who cost Chelsea all three points against Brighton today.

Chelsea failed to overtake Liverpool on the English Premier League table after they were held to a 1:1 draw against Brighton today.

The first 45 minutes ended 1:0 in favour of the Blues. The host started well in the early minutes, but Thomas Tuchel’s side had the breakthrough in the 28th minutes through Hakim Ziyech. The moroccan international fired into the bottom corner, assisted by Ngolo Kante

In the second half, Adam Webster powered a header into the roof of the net from Mac Allister’s cross to level the scores for the host.

Both sides pushed further to secure maximum points, but neither could find the back of the net.

 

 

Marcos Alonso.

Marcos Alonso failed to deal with Tariq Lamptey’s pace on the left flank. The 21 year Brighton star caused problems for Alonso which saw the Spaniard receive a yellow card.

Since Ben Chilwell’s injury, Alonso has offered little in Chelsea’s attacking form of play and he also performed poorly in today’s game.
