Chelsea failed to both hold on and make up vital ground on rivals Liverpool and Manchester City in the title race, after conceding a last-gasp goal to Graham Potter's Brighton and settling for a 1-1 draw.
Once again Romelu Lukaku got himself among the goals, but was denied being the match-winner by forgotten man Danny Welbeck who found the back of the Chelsea net in injury time.
The evening was overshadowed by an injury to Reece James, who left the field with the assistance of medical staff in the first half - just four days before the Blues are set to host Liverpool.

in team of 11 players 6 were so useless and you think a draw is bad result? yah it's a bad result for Brighton cuz they deserve to win tonight match but Chelsea should be happy with the draw. cuz jorginho, kovacic, mount, pulisic, odoi and Alonso were all drunks tonight.

Thomas Tuchel has become a fearful man. It is written all over him and the impact is showing on the result the team is getting. When a coach complains too much, give excuses before and games, it means he has lost the rightful state of his mind. Should it be difficult for Chelsea to win teams like Brighton? The quality of the both squad is incomparable. Yet, they were outplayed. TT has lost his zeal, faith and momentum. Injuries and closed schedules are part of football, moreover, other teams too are not excluded from the tight schedule of December - January. As a coach, it is primary duty to find a way or another way his current squad can play and get great results. His complain - fear is robbing on the team. πππ
