Chelsea have now lost four Premier League games without winning, while Brighton have recorded their 11th draw of the season. It was a very poor performance, but at least I did not have high expectations for Chelsea. This Brighton side is known for their composure, and that is exactly what I love about them. It is amazing how they remain calm when competing against the big boys.
2-3 hours before the match starts I think Chelsea will win the match considering they have dropped a lot of points so far. However, it turned out that Brighton again managed to hold Chelsea to a draw for the second time in a season (away & home) with the score 1-1 for both matches. Not the result I expected actually because I felt Chelsea came to take revenge in that match but they also had to fail despite being ahead throughout the first half to the middle of the second half.
I would no longer think Chelsea would be competing for the title because they are already quite a distance away at the moment with Manchester City. If in the next match City can maintain their unbeaten record then Chelsea will be even further behind. Only Liverpool may still have enough chances to advance as the non-favorite candidate for the title this season with Manchester City.
