Chelsea played Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Sunday in their 12th league match of the current English Premier League season away from home. The team was captained by Graham Potter.
The home team, who was brutal and as a result got them beaten with a surprising four goals to one scoreline at full time, stunned the Blues in the encounter.
Graham Potter’s visit to his old squad was the first time since his departure that the team had not been able to secure a victory, but they managed to do so when playing their former boss.

The situation was so puzzling since Chelsea had a 9-game unbeaten streak under the English tactician and the opponent had a 5-game losing streak (3L 2D), but then the roles were reversed between the two teams.
Leandro Trossard’s first-half goal and two own goals by Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevoh Chalobah gave the home team a three-goal lead at the half. In the second half, Kai Havertz scored a goal to cut the deficit to three goals, but the home team sealed the victory with a goal from Pascal Gross that made the score four goals to one at the conclusion of play.
Chelsea will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in their upcoming match as they pursue the competition despite the sad loss.
