Brighton remain in the hunt for a Champions League place after a 2-1 Premier League success at Chelsea piled on the misery for Frank Lampard.
Brighton & Hove Albion will be without Evan Ferguson and Joel Veltman for their FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United next weekend, Seagulls manager Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed.
A rocket from substitute Julio Enciso gave Brighton a deserved 2-1 victory over Chelsea in their Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge. The Blues went in front against the run of play in the 13th minute when Conor Gallagher's effort was deflected off Lewis Dunk and flew high and wide of Robert Sanchez in the Brighton goal.
Brighton were brilliant. They were faster than Chelsea, stronger than Chelsea, slicker than Chelsea, more coherent than Chelsea and more inventive than Chelsea. They were almost embarrassingly the better side. As their pursuit of Europa League football goes on, so too does Chelsea’s bewildered misery. That’s 11 defeats in his last 12 games now for Frank Lampard as a manager and seven in his last 10 league games with Chelsea. And now he has to inspire a comeback from 2-0 down against Real Madrid. Good luck.
LONDON : Brighton & Hove Albion ruined Chelsea boss Frank Lampard's return to Stamford Bridge with a 2-1 comeback win on Saturday as substitutes Danny Welbeck and Julio Enciso condemned the Blues to a third defeat in three games under their interim coach.
While the nation's Sky Sports subscribers were put through a fourth successive goalless draw between Chelsea and Liverpool on Tuesday night, Brighton & Hove Albion were busy continuing their unimaginable pursuit of European football.
Four clubs in the incredibly congested relegation dogfight in the Premier League were in action on Tuesday night and two of them met at Elland Road, as Leeds United hosted Nottingham Forest. Javi Gracia’s team were arguably the biggest winners of the night, as goals from Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra overturned Orel Mangala’s opener.
Evan Ferguson looks destined to play in the Champions League sooner rather than later, but will it be with Brighton? A stunning backheel finish from the 18-year-old Ireland international – his fourth league goal of a memorable first full season – and a late strike from another teenager, the substitute Julio Enciso, enabled Roberto De Zerbi’s side to overcome a spirited Bournemouth effort and move to within striking distance of the top four.
