However, Brighton found opportunity amidst adversity, overturning Chelsea's early dominance following Chalobah's dismissal.
Welbeck equalized with a header from a Minteh cross in the 77th minute. Brighton continued to press their numerical advantage, with Maxim de Cuyper scoring in added time, sealing an impressive win. Chelsea drops to seventh in the league standings, while Brighton rises to tenth.
