Chelsea's manager suffered a 4-1 defeat in today's match against Brighton & Hove Albion. The way both teams played today made for a very interesting game. Both teams did a great job and created some incredible chances, but Brighton was the team that made the most of those chances by scoring on them. Brighton always inspires a lot of confidence whenever they play a side towards the top 4 of the Premier League standings, especially when the team is at home.
The Chelsea team scoring early in the second half gave the impression that they wanted to even draw the game with their incredible second-half effort. Unfortunately, after the early goal in the second half, Chelsea team found it very difficult to score again until Brighton had a great chance to score the closing goal for game

I feel this was a good weekend at the office for the bookies after seeing several favorites falling at the hands of the underdogs. First it was Chelsea big humiliation btw, then Spurs almost did the damn thing but fought back to victory and then we have Liverpool who have fallen at their own base( anfield) after a hard fought match for Leeds to carry the day. I guess favorites will win tomorrow, today was something else.
Manchester City struggled to win and only managed to win narrowly, Liverpool lost again, Chelsea were beaten by Brighton, Tottenham were still a little lucky because they managed to come back.It's been a really shocking week and I lost 2 of my 4 bets in big 4 team odds.
I expect something more from Manchester United and Arsenal tomorrow because if they followed Liverpool and Chelsea it would just be a week full of jokes for me.
I also wonder why two own goals happened to Chelsea players in that game. Because I don't think it was intentional by the two Chelsea players. Because basically every team wants to win in every game, so in general it's not an intentional thing. Now I'm watching Liverpool vs Leeds United which has already drawn 1-1, but it's only half time and there is still a chance for both teams in the next round if they want to win the game.
As we speak. Liverpool are facing defeat in front of their own fans. It's now 1-2 in favour of Leeds United. Crysencio Summerville just scored a late goal (89th minute) Pressure continues to pile up of Jürgen KloppMy personal opinion; Liverpool may find it very hard to even book a spot for next season's UCL if this bad form continues.
What a shock. Another loss from Liverpool they even lose at their own field in the last couple of minutes and that is just dissapointing to see. Liverpool were putting presure but that didnt pay off and a shock came. Kloops bench isnt secure anymore even with the wins in the champions league

It's really surprising to Chelsea lose to Brighton; it was a disgraceful display from the Chelsea's side. They were totally outplayed by Brighton. In my opinion, I don't think Grahams Potter can do the job at Chelsea. Apparently, the club is too big for him. The club actually deserves better. With this kind of display, it is obvious Chelsea might end up without trophy this season and likely fall off top four.
Potter was good when he handled Brighton though and he was given the job to handle Chelsea because of his previous reputation. He is not the guy that build his reputation over just a month or something and besides that, Chelsea is in deep mess even before he came so it was kinda expected to happen. The real struggle starts after the next transfer, if he can gets the player that he wants to fill in some position then we'll see how he does thing afterward
Meanwhile Liverpool lost to Leeds. This is their first loss in Anfield after so many games that they've won in home
Chelsea are absolutely crazy, I like to call it that after the humiliating defeat against Brighton. I don't think this is a very expected result after in the previous 2 matches they also only produced 2 points. This is definitely a setback for them, I hope they will fix it soon.
4-1 was a big score for Brighton's win, and it seemed that many predictions and observers were in disbelief about this result before the match.

I am sure almost everyone thinks that Brighton will lose because they play very badly lately 4 matches without wins even 3 of them lost
But we know this is a Premier League competition anything can happen this is one moment to prove there is no weak team except the unlucky team
And yes we are still monitoring Newcastle somehow this team suddenly became a solid and strong team even though there are no famous players there.
Even though Newcastle don't buy too many famous players and they can only with their share of players now Newcastle is more solid than other big teams this is probably because thanks to the coach who always educates players to be more solid so they can stay in the top 4 to remain rivals with other teams.
Newcastle United has proved that expensive or famous players don't guarantee successful or winning team and sometimes cheap or unknown players can bring glory to the team.

chelsea really had big bad luck, 2 own goals scored by loftus and chalobah made me suspect that it was a bit on purpose. but I don't want to speculate any further because this match is over and Brighton won 4-1 over Chelsea. this is the worst thing that has happened to Chelsea since potter took over as Chelsea coach.

I was very happy when I saw Mohammed Salah score to equalize in the 14th minute. However Leeds' quick goal was surprising. Luckily Liverpool can reply before halftime in the first half, it will make it easier for them to turn ahead in the second half later. I admit that Leeds played well and were disciplined, it made it difficult for Liverpool to exploit the defense they built. Their attacks are also well organized. I hope Liverpool can maximize the 45 minutes of the second half.
Bad day for chelsea because they lost against brighton 4 - 1. Chelsea 2x own goals of course this is very embarrassing especially because they are one of the big English Premier League clubs. I'm a little confused by what the coach Graham Potter did, who made a mistake, why did the defender have to be substituted for the goalkeeper? But that's okay, maybe today Kepa didn't play well, especially a few weeks ago he also entered as player of the week.
Chelsea's Potter is yet to have is starting 11 he switches players in every match and this is not creating stability within the team. But his action to substitute Kepa today was due to injury which I hope is not serious considering is such in a fine form and already world Cup bound with Spain. Chelsea's worse player should be cucurella, he gave Trossard too much space to run towards him, I think his transfer fee his affecting him already. Brighton have continue to torment big clubs in EPL due to there pattern of play, imagine winning possession against even the Almighty Pep's team. I think its now time team start taking them serious. Trossard should be in a team bigger than Brighton what a player!!If man united wins tomorrow Chelsea will come down the table more. The top four fight is taking shape already and getting tough, Newcastle on the hand are a team that looks ready to frustrate opponents this season and fight for this top four till the very end
Manchester City have taken the lead from Arsenal for now. But it feels like the lead will change hands again. Because Arsenal don't have a very challenging game ahead as it is a home game against Nottingham. I'm aware of the fact that Nottingham defeated Liverpool last. This would boost their morale against Arsenal but it is still a very difficult job for them. Arsenal are a much more consistent team than Liverpool these days. Therefore I don't expect them to make big mistakes in Emirates.
De Bruyne's goal by a free-kick was really delightful to watch also. Manchester City won by only 1-0 and this must be because of some improvement in Leicester defense recently. But they couldn't resist Manchester City anyway as it was a very tough game. Apart from that the result of the Brighton - Chelsea match was shocking indeed. Potter couldn't take advantage of Brighton's weaknesses despite knowing them well.

That was really surprising but such things happen on the premier league from time to time, Chelsea had very good performance in the past rounds and no one expected such situation but it still a normal thing in football

Chelsea was still beyond our expectations but it was a game anything could happen but I'm sure there must be a lot to lose in this match, Potter had to be humiliated by his former team and the defense made an unintentional mistake that was an own goal whereas of all That's Chelsea far behind and I think 4-1 is beyond my expectations.
Chelsea seems unable to maintain the standings while on the other hand Man United are waiting for their victory against West Ham and if they win it will certainly be shifted so the competition is getting tougher unless Arsenal and Mancity are a bit far from the difference in points.
Today Liverpool also fell behind goal in the first 4 minutes, will this be Liverpool's defeat again?
Expect something to change again for Klopp and his players.

After Chelsea was humiliated by Brighton, now it's Liverpool's turn to be left behind by Leeds. Time has only been running for 4 minutes and Liverpool must lose 1 goal. It's been a really great week because the smaller clubs are showing the pressure on the favorites. Previously there was also Tottenham who almost lost when they traveled to Bournemouth, lucky they could rise in the second half by creating 3 goals. Indeed there is still a lot of time for Liverpool to be able to do the same as Tottenham did, I want to see how far they can turn things around.

I don't know what kind of mystical day this is... Brighton destroyed Chelsea by scoring 4 goals... Newcastle are now fourth in the standings... Spurs almost lost to Bournemouth, but Spurs were the only ones who could recover at the end of the game and win the game... In the neighbouring La Liga, there's also the miracle between Cadiz and Atletico...
Chelsea could not maintain the positive trend they have achieved since Graham Potter took charge of the club. And they had to be destroyed at home by the former club that Graham Potter had managed. Brighton seems to be showing they can do better without Graham Potter. Actually I wasn't too surprised when Chelsea had to drop points, which surprised me when I saw how easy it was for Brighton to score against them. Chelsea only replied to 1 goal which was not enough for them to at least get 1 point.The only team that can survive is Newcastle who has now climbed the top back to standings 4 in the Premier League, they beat several other teams I think they are strong enough to beat this should not be underestimated because I'm pretty sure Newcastle can be a competitor title.

I am indeed not happy with Potter's selection for the match. And Chelsea paid dearly for it. This is the issue I have with many managers, the man is struggling to make sure everyone fits in. He comes up with some horrendous team selections. The team looked out of sync. Therefore, I wouldn't criticize any player on this match because I don't believe any of the players in this game comprehended how to play in that formation. Imagine him bringing in Broja, a target man then send him to the wing. Does this make any sense? Jump to:
