"However, Chelsea were shown a red card for the second game in a row, when Trevoh Chalobah was sent off for a challenge on Diego Gomez just minutes into the second half, with the original decision of no foul overturned following a pitchside review for the denial of a goal-scoring opportunity. And Brighton would make their numerical advantage count, with Welbeck coming on to power a brilliant header from Yankuba Minteh's cross into the net in the 77th minute."
"There were then shouts for a penalty after Malo Gusto was believed to have caught the head of Minteh inside the box. However, after a VAR check, referee Simon Hooper stuck with his original decision. With Chelsea making defensive changes, they were unable to withstand the Seagulls' pressure, with their back line eventually breached in the second of 11 added minutes in the second half as Mats Wieffer sent the ball across goal for Maxim De Cuyper to nod past Robert Sanchez."
Chelsea took the lead in the 24th minute when James' deflected cross found Enzo Fernandez at the back post and the Argentine nodded home. Trevoh Chalobah was sent off early in the second half after a pitchside review overturned an on-field no-foul decision for denial of a goal-scoring opportunity. Brighton used their numerical advantage as Yankuba Minteh set up Danny Welbeck's header in the 77th minute. A VAR check denied a penalty claim after Malo Gusto appeared to catch Minteh. Mats Wieffer created a late chance for Maxim De Cuyper before Welbeck sealed victory in the 100th minute. Welbeck has been involved in seven goals in eight Premier League games against Chelsea, and the win moved Brighton into the top half while Chelsea dropped to seventh.
