All eyes are on Chelsea to see whether they can bounce back from their FA Cup exit to claim victory against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.

The Blues took an early lead at the Amex Stadium thanks to Bart Verbruggen's own goal, but the Seagulls were level not long afterwards through Georginio Rutter. Kaoru Mitoma then flicked the ball over Robert Sanchez in the 57th minute for what turned out to be the winner.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca said “big clubs” are able to win games 1-0 as he branded his side’s FA Cup exit at Brighton a “big shame”. The Blues were gifted a fifth-minute advantage in the fourth-round tie at the Amex Stadium by a calamitous own goal from Seagulls goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

Maresca disliked the distractions the transfer window brought but will be satisfied with the way Chelsea trimmed their squad

Enzo Maresca saw his Chelsea side dumped out of the FA Cup at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion despite taking an early lead against the Seagulls. Chelsea wanted Nico O’Reilly in January, a player that’s been compared to Cole Palmer but who the West Londoners were ultimately unable to sign.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has slammed the referees for missing a 'clear handball' in the Blues' loss to Brighton in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
