Struggling Chelsea Knock Brighton Out of Carabao Cup

ENGLISH side, Chelsea FC, defeated Brighton in their Carabao Cup clash with Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday.

The struggling Blues knocked out an in-form Brighton at home at Stamford Bridge, 1-0.

The winning goal came from off-form Nicolas Jackson in the 51st minute following a breathtaking pass from new signing, Cole Palmer.

The first half has ended 0-0 with both sides playing out an entertaining half of football.

Chelsea, who, before now, were having a terrible season so far, regained confidence with a much needed win.

Chelsea forward, Nicolas Jackson, should have gotten a hattrick easily, but missed a one-on-one in the 61st minute.

This is after Joao Pedro missed a sitter in the first half of the clash.

Jackson scored later on the second half but his goal was ruled out for offside.

A morale boosting victory this was for Chelsea as Manager, Mauricio Pochettino, will hope this kick-starts a run of wins the club is dire need of.
