After a day of celebration in which several of its protagonists were honored at ‘The Best’ Awards, Chelsea has seen its aspirations of fighting to win the English Premier League vanish after a painful 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Things seemed to start well for Chelsea that from the minute 28 He went ahead on the scoreboard with a great goal from Moroccan Hakim Ziyech from outside the area. However, the ‘Blues’ were unable to take advantage of the rival’s defensive errors to extend the advantage and this took its toll on them.

Already in the second half, specifically at minute 60, Brighton took advantage of a corner in which the London team’s defense was asleep, to put the final tie on the scoreboard with a header from captain and central defender Adam Webster.

This result, added to the 1-0 defeat suffered in their previous league game against the leader and direct rival, Manchester City, leaves Chelsea with almost zero chance of continuing to fight to win the English league, in which they are third in the table with 44 points while City has 56 one point and one game less.

The tie was more than fair in a game in which the German coach Thomas Tuchel, who was chosen as coach of the year at the ‘The Best’ gala, had to make several rotations due to the multiple injuries and Covid infections that the team presents.
