Overview

• Enzo Fernández put Chelsea ahead before a VAR review resulted in Trevoh Chalobah receiving a straight red card for fouling Diego Gomez in the 53rd minute.
• Brighton overturned the deficit late as Danny Welbeck equalised on 77 minutes, Maxim De Cuyper headed the winner in stoppage time, and Welbeck added a final goal.
• Chalobah will be suspended for the Liverpool game, compounding Chelsea’s centre-back injuries and leaving options further stretched.
• Maresca said his side “cannot continue to give away presents,” citing a second straight red-card game after Robert Sánchez’s dismissal at Manchester United last week.
• Co-owner Behdad Eghbali and senior recruitment chiefs went into the dressing-room area after full time; Maresca said they did not speak to the players.
