Chelsea's mid-season slide continues with a dour showing that has seen them dumped out the FA Cup. After a strong start, they faded badly, offering very little outside of their early spell of dominance. Cole Palmer was sloppy, whilst the rest of the attack ranged from anonymous to overly passive. The midfield didn't function in unison, and though they were decent defensively, they were hardly commanding. Brighton did not create loads, and got a touch of luck for the second, but they can have few complaints in defeat.
