Brighton and Hove Albion 1-1 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2019-20

#5 Blues' ghosts come back to haunt them as Jahanbaksh nets

Alireza Jahanbaksh scored a truly memorable goal to bring the Seagulls level

Before we get into the romantics of the otherworldly strike, let's discuss the horrendous piece of defending from Chelsea for the umpteenth time this season. They once again, couldn't hide their vulnerability from set pieces when the goal went in.

Against the out-swinging corner, it was imperative to go man to man and most importantly, save the second ball. That never happened, and somehow, the goalscorer was awarded way too much space inside the box with no one cashing in after the first header was won.

Then on, it was all about that strike.

It was a sensational bit of skill; to leap high enough, raise the left foot to provide leverage for the right to have a lash. And, how good was that finish? Kepa, who made a couple of remarkable saves to deny both the Brighton forwards, was simply rooted to his stance.

So delighted to be able to help the team again today! Happy new year to everyone 🙏🏼💙 #BHAFC pic.twitter.com/nW7p7E8zMY
