Graham Potter’s go back to England’s south coast was a dissatisfied one, with Chelsea losing 1-4 to Brighton in the English Premier League.
The Seagulls, handled by Potter prior to he used up the Chelsea task this season, fasted off the blocks on Saturday, hurrying into a 2-0 lead within 15 minutes through Leandro Trossard and a Ruben Loftus-Cheek own-goal.
A widespread Brighton made the most of Potter’s choice to begin with simply 2 protectors and capitalised on their frailties at the back to make it 3-0 by halftime through another own-goal, this time by Trevor Chalobah.
Chelsea began the 2nd half well and Kai Havertz’s early objective raised hopes of a return however Brighton hung on strongly and a Pascal Gross objective in injury time included gloss to their success.
It was nearly poetic that Roberto De Zerbi’s very first win as Brighton employer and his predecessor Potter’s very first loss as Chelsea supervisor can be found in this video game. The outcome sees the Blues slip out of the Champions League positions into 4th while Brighton move into seventh.
Elsewhere, unlike their London neighbours, Tottenham Hotspur achieved success in installing a return.
Antonio Conte’s side was 0-2 down at Bournemouth through objectives from Keiffer Moore and Lewis Cook. Objectives from Ryan Sessegnon and Ben Davies brought Spurs back on level terms and had the Cherries pegged back in their box for the last quarter of the video game in search of a winner.
Their pressure flourished, with Uruguayan Rodrigo Bentancur scoring in injury time to assist Spurs take all 3 points. Spurs were winless in their last 3 video games and Saturday’s outcome will reduce the pressure on Conte.
Tottenham now sit simply 2 points behind Arsenal in 3rd. Bournemouth, who have actually lost their last 3 video games, being in 14 th.
We dug deep. We battled up until completion.

Meanwhile, in spite of lacking leading scorers Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, Manchester City beat Leicester City 1-0 in the early kickoff. Kevin de Bruyne’s delicious free-kick in the 2nd half saw City move top of the table having actually played a video game more than second-placed Arsenal.
Newcastle United conveniently rejected Aston Villa 4-0, with a Callum Wilson double and objectives from Joelinton and the in-form Miguel Almiron. The Paraguayan has actually scored in each of his last 3 video games and currently has 6 objectives to his name this year– that is as numerous as he had in the previous 2 years integrated.
Brentford were held to a 1-1 draw in the house to Wolves, while Patrick Viera’s Crystal Palace beat Southampton 1-0.
