Chelsea struggled to reorganize and Brighton seized the initiative. Super substitute Danny Welbeck scored in the 77th minute to equalise.

It was a repetition of their last week&rsquo;s performance and defeat against Man United.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Trevoh Chalobah Red Card Decisive<\/h2><p>Trevoh Chalobah&rsquo;s second-half foul on Brighton&rsquo;s Diego Gomez was another repetition of their mistakes last week. VAR looked into the foul to announce it to be a clear goalscoring denial and Chalobah saw a red card on 53rd minute.

He also added a second in stoppage time.&nbsp;<\/p><p>In between, Maxim De Cuyper scored a header at 90+2&prime;.
