Hard period for Chelsea. Released in FA Cup by Brighton (2-1) last weekend, the Blues were again beaten on the field of Seagulls (3-0), this Friday, at the opening of the 25th day of the Premier League.
Without Nicolas Jackson (injured), but with Christopher Nkunku at the forefront, the Londoners did not frame the slightest strike, and they were sanctioned three times, by Kaoru Mitoma (27th) and Yankuba Minteh (38th, 63rd).
Still fourth, Chelsea could be overtaken by the winner of Manchester City-Newcastle, if there is one, and by Bournemouth. Brighton, for his part, dates back to 8th place, and did not say goodbye to Europe.
