Nine-Man Chelsea Collapse as Brighton Strike Late Trio

Seagulls capitalize on second-half red card to snatch dramatic victory at the Amex.

Brighton & Hove Albion delivered a stunning late blow to Chelsea, scoring three times in the final 15 minutes to turn a tight contest into a resounding victory after the Blues were reduced to ten men.

The match’s momentum shifted dramatically just after halftime when Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah was shown a straight red card for bringing down Brighton’s Diego Gomez, who was clean through on goal after pouncing on a defensive error.

Chelsea had initially taken the lead through Enzo Fernandez, but Danny Welbeck’s equalizer set the stage for a frantic finish. With Chelsea’s resistance buckling, Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls found a winning goal, before adding a decisive third in stoppage time to compound the misery for the visitors and secure a memorable three points.
