The result is Potter's first defeat as Chelsea manager after a nine-game unbeaten run since arriving at the beginning of September. Here is how SunSport's Dylan Terry saw the performances of the Chelsea players. KEPA ARRIZABALAGA - 5/10 Sold down the river for Brighton's opening goal as he was left in a heap on the floor. Could do very little about the two own goals as he was caught flat-footed for both of them - understandably so. Came off at half-time for Edouard Mendy. Will be a concern for Chelsea fans given his impressive form since returning to the team. TREVOH CHALOBAH - 3 Looked helplessly exposed down the right channel, partly due to the lack of help he was receiving from "wingback" Pulisic. He then turned home a rather unfortunate own goal at the end of the first half, but it was symptomatic of his inability to cope with the runs coming from Brighton's left. An afternoon to forget for the young centre-back. Chalobah turned Estupinna's cross into his own net on a tough afternoon for the defenderCredit: AP THIAGO SILVA -){kind=link}
