By Rounaq SehrawatBrighton and Hove Albion beat Chelsea 2-1 to extend Frank Lampard’s winless run at the club since taking charge earlier this month, while Bournemouth shocked Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 to dent their hopes of finishing in the top-four of the Premier League.

Chelsea’s poor run of results continued as they succumbed to their 12th defeat of the season. The Blues have been winless in their last six matches across all competitions, with their previous victory coming against Leicester City in the Premier League on March 11.

Chelsea opened the scoring for the hosts in the 13th minute after latching onto a Mykhaylo Mudryk pass, which took a big deflection and beat Robert Sanchez in goal. However, former Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck came on as a substitute for the injured striker Evan Ferguson and equalized in the 42nd minute, heading in from Pascal Gross’ cross from the right flank.

Then, in the 69th minute, Julio Enciso launched a pile-driver from 30 yards out to give the visitors a much-deserved lead. Brighton hammered Chelsea 4-1 in their home leg and did the double over them with this win at Stamford Bridge.

Dutch winger Arnaut Danjuma leveled proceedings in the 88th minute but a stoppage time strike from Dango Ouattara secured the win for the Cherries.
