- Chelsea took early leadership courtesy of a big mistake of goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen
- But Brighton responded with goals from Georginio Rutter and Kaoru Mitoma
- Listen now: Everything is starting! Does Premier League really need to look at goal celebrations?
The first Chelsea trophy under its Blueco property will not arrive in the FA Cup this season after a defeat against Brighton, which only reminded us of what little they have received in exchange for such expense.
Robert Sánchez, Moises Caicedo and Marc Cucurella began here against their former club. They cost a fifth of one billion pounds to acquire collectively, the equivalent of 80 kaoru mitomas.
And yet it was Mitoma who sent Brighton to the fifth round at the expense of his old boys.
Chelsea complained that there was a handball in the preparation of that Dink that confirmed the return. There was no VAR to save them here, and not Cole Pale rescue his FA Cup campaign.
It is difficult not to see Chelsea and think that they depend so much on Palmer that if it does not appear, they do not.
Palmer scored four goals the last time these clubs met at the Premier League in September. He took only five minutes to force the progress here when Brighton's goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen looked for his cross on the goal as if the ball were covered in Vaseline.

It was a horrible mistake, so bad that Chelsea could consider signing it next summer, since a fan joked, but Brighton matched after 12 minutes when Georginio Rutter headed beyond Sánchez.
The Chelsea goalkeeper was booed at all times, just like Cucurella and Caicedo. Brighton got a good treatment when those three – £ 200 million sold, but obviously, money does not buy forgiveness.
Home supporters loved Veltman for their 28 -minute reducer in Cucurella and to try to lift it after its theatrical bearing, since there was a spicy under the lights of Amex.
Since December 4, Palmer has created 32 opportunities in the Premier League, more than any other player has achieved in any of the elite divisions of Europe.
However, none of them has been converted by his chelsea teammates, leaving him with zero assists.
It is an extraordinary statistic, and one that emphasizes its waste against the goal.
It is not useful, then, that they appeared in Brighton without a recognized striker in his squad.
Christopher Nkunku was asked to make his best impression of one, although he rejected the opportunity to shoot while trying to establish Palmer, whose header came out.
Georgininio Rutter also found the network for Brighton, scoring with a well -located head finish

With Chelsea shooting towards his own fans in the second half, you could feel the frustration that was brewing at that end out of place when Caicedo was urged to shoot from 35 yards.
Brighton took the lead in the 57th minute with Rutter's ball behind Finding Mitoma. It was a lovely Dink who saw him beat Sánchez, since Chelsea's hopeful claims of a handball in the accumulation were unsuccessful without any VAR in operation in the AMEX.
Brighton's last departure resulted in a 7-0 defeat in the Premier League against Nottingham Forest and Fabian Hurzeler could be proud of the greatest intensity they were showing here.
Chelsea went to work trying to find a leveling, with the substitute Enzo Fernández flying and Maresca returned to others in his bank in Tyrique George and Noni Madueke.
However, there was no return, since another chance of a trophy said goodbye to a night when Brighton rushed happily on the faces of former friends turned into enemies.
