Game is over and the final score is Brighton 1-1 Chelsea. Here is the match report.
Match Report
Chelsea were unable to respond to their weekend defeat to Manchester City, dropping more points when they visited Brighton on Tuesday night. This was their fourth Premier League match in a row without a victory, a run that started with the draw when Brighton visited the Blues in London at the end of December.
This time around it was a 1-1 draw, with Hakim Ziyech scoring from distance in the first half before Andy Webster headed in from a corner in the second.
It was after a fairly tranquil start to the game that Ziyech tried his speculative shot from distance and caught out Robert Sanchez, even though the Brighton No.1 got a hand to it.
Brighton finished the first half well, yet Chelsea did have a glorious chance to go two up just before the break, only for Callum Hudson-Odoi to squander it after being teed up perfectly by Mason Mount.
Having let Brighton off the hook, Chelsea paid for this in the second half. The home side started the second period well and found a deserved equaliser on the hour mark when Webster headed in a corner kick.
Over the following minutes, Brighton looked more likely than Chelsea to score the next goal, but Thomas Tuchel made a triple substitution to send on Mateo Kovacic, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz as the Blues sought the victory.
Yet, this didn't have the desired effect, as Chelsea failed to make the most of some late corners and leave with just one point.

So much for the acclaimed European Champions 😂😂 no consistency no dominance. Klopp went from Champions league final to another final and won it and dem came back home to win Premiership Title that’s consistency, and has since maintained his position in the top four with ease. Guardiola took his team to semi final which is the last stage city ever reached before he came and the following season entered final for the very first time ( doing all this while winning and maintaining dominance in his local league) that’s consistency. Chelsea won champions league like dis na noise follow. Tuchel this, Tuchel that. Keep jester for once and let your good football speaks for itself, but no every win na noise and any lose na excuses and complaints. U guys better keep quiet and stop disturbing the true title contenders... One cannot even tell the difference between Man U, Arsenal, Tottenham etc. 😏😏 I see no bragging right with Chelsea’s performance. And no fool should com here boasting of champions league. We got plenty clubs in Europe that got more than Chelsea so it’s now a record in the past. We are dealing with the present.!!!

Is Thomas Tuchel a top coach? When the team are playing bad, he's not always worried; he doesn't make changes whatsoever Even in the game against City, after the poor first half, many coaches will make changes and win the game but not Tuchel. Imagine having a poor first half against Brighton and still waiting till 80mins before making changes, how will the sub make impact? Cr*zy.. Chelsea have brilliant players but he kept on coming up with the worst lineup. Maybe he's just a half-season wonder coach.

Hahaha,Chelsea fans are the most clueless sometimes, when they see failure,they can't acknowledged but cry fowl. Now,we have no hiding place,we are been smoke out by even minors.

You Chelsea folks have started ur usual ranting about sacking the coach. The same coach that came in the middle of last season, won the UCL, guided the team to top 4 finish when all hope was lost in Lampard and still took them to the FA cup final. U Chelsea fans never learn that there are no perfect coach out there who will deliver the win forever.
