Chelsea Crumble Again: Red Card Controversy Seals Blues’ Stunning Defeat to Brighton
But Chelsea took a deserved lead in the 24th minute when Enzo nodded home from close-range from Reece James’ deflected right-wing cross.
Chelsea failed to build on their lead, and there was a turning point in the contest eight minutes into the second half when Chalobah saw red for bringing down Diego Gomez on the edge of the area with the Paraguayan through on goal.
Referee Simon Hooper initially waved away the claims of the Brighton players, but a trip to the VAR pitchside monitor saw him reverse his decision and dismiss Chalobah, though Gomez could do nothing with the subsequent free-kick.
