Brighton Overwhelms Chelsea with Mitoma and Minteh's Brilliance

A stunning display from Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh secured Brighton's emphatic 3-0 victory, deepening Chelsea's struggles in the Premier League.

Kaoru Mitoma's extraordinary first-touch goal set the tone for Brighton's dominant performance over Chelsea, marking his second decisive contribution against them in a week.
Yankuba Minteh scored twice, capitalizing on Chelsea's defensive errors to ensure Brighton's first home league win in six matches.
Chelsea's attacking struggles were evident, with no shots on target and key forward Nicolas Jackson sidelined for six weeks due to injury.
Brighton's win lifted them to eighth in the Premier League, closing the gap to European qualification spots, while Chelsea risk falling out of the top four after a fifth consecutive away defeat.
Manager Enzo Maresca faces mounting pressure as Chelsea's form continues to decline, with tactical adjustments like using Cole Palmer as a false nine failing to yield results.
