Brighton Defeats Chelsea 3-0, Blues Register Zero Shots on Target

Brighton secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Chelsea in their Premier League encounter, continuing Chelsea's struggles after a recent FA Cup defeat to the same team. Kaoru Mitoma opened the scoring with a stunning goal, followed by a brace from Yankuba Minteh, who capitalized on Chelsea's defensive errors. Despite dominating possession with 70% and completing 702 passes, Chelsea failed to register a single shot on target, showcasing their inefficiency in front of goal. Coach Enzo Maresca's decision to start new goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen did not pay off, as Chelsea’s defense faltered throughout the match. The defeat reflects deeper issues within Chelsea's squad, which remains plagued by injuries and a lack of striking options. Following the match, fans expressed their discontent, chanting for former owner Roman Abramovich, highlighting the team's decline since their last trophy win in 2022.
