Brighton hosted Chelsea last night at the Falmer Stadium. Thomas Tuchel was aiming for a win in order to keep alive his hopes of finishing in the top 4 this season.
Chelsea lined up with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Kepa Arrizabalaga was the goalkeeper as Mendy was still playing AFCON for Senegal. Kante and Jorginho played as the two defensive midfielders. Christian Pulisic was dropped as Tuchel opted for Ziyech, Odoi and Mount playing behind Romelu Lukaku.
Chelsea fans were angered by how their players played last night. They took the lead in the 28th minute through Hakim Ziyech but the hosts equalized in the 60th minute through a brilliant header.
Chelsea fans blamed Tuchel for selecting a poor squad and dropping unnecessary points. Romelu Lukaku who played as the striker was poor throughout the game. The Belgian had a good number of chances but still failed to score. This was another time Lukaku was failing to impress after also playing badly in the previous match against Manchester City.
Chelsea fans called for Tuchel to bench him and start another player like Havertz in the number 9 role. See some reactions from fans down below.
