Chelsea faced off against Brighton and Hove Albion at the American Express Community Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Blues made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the third-minute when Fedri Kadioglu found the back of the net.
