Chelsea post dubious stat after losing to Brighton, featuring a Titanic twist | Football News

Published by Webster

3 min readUpdated: Apr 22, 2026 06:07 PM IST Chelsea posted a dubious stat on Tuesday night when they lost 3-0 to Brighton. This was the first time that the English club had lost five league games in a row without scoring since 1912 – the year the Titanic sank. The Liam Rosenior-coached team have now lost 1-0 to Newcastle, 3-0 to Everton, 3-0 to Manchester City, 1-0 to Manchester United and 3-0 to Brighton in a run that started on March 14. In between, they had one big 7-0 win against Port Wale in the FA Cup while also getting eliminated from the Champions League after losing to PSG 3-0 in the second leg of the round of 16 with the aggregate score of 8-2. “I have defended the players at times when it was the correct thing, but I can’t defend that performance,” Rosenior said after Chelsea were completely outplayed and failed to have an attempt on target against Brighton. “It doesn’t represent this football club, it doesn’t represent anything I ask from …

Arne Slot says Liverpool’s defeat to Brighton ‘hurts a lot’ as defending champions slump to 5th spot | Football News

3 min readMar 21, 2026 11:09 PM IST Liverpool manager Arne Slot was forced to admit that his team have not been “good enough” and said that the defending champions’ latest defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion “hurts a lot”. Danny Welbeck scored a brace for Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday while Milos Kerkez pulled a goal back for the Reds. The defeat meant that Liverpool have earned just a solo point from their last three league games. The club is now in fifth place in the Premier League, one point ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea ahead of its match at Everton later. “Of course now looking at the league table, this loss hurts a lot and it should hurt us a lot,” Slot said after the game. “It’s not good enough, no matter how many excuses I come up with.” The result will add more scrutiny on his position at the helm of the club. “The main problem is that we are in this position because we dropped a point at Wolves in …

Manchester United crash out of the FA Cup after 2-1 loss to Brighton | Football News

Published by Webster

Managerless Manchester United crashed out of the FA Cup with a 2-1 defeat to Brighton on Sunday. At the end of a week that saw the Premier League team fire head coach Ruben Amorim, the loss at Old Trafford has likely consigned United to another trophyless season and was greeted with loud jeers from the home crowd. Former United striker Danny Welbeck scored what proved the decisive goal in the 64th minute – meaning Benjamin Sesko’s late header was only a consolation in the third round match. United has exited both domestic knockout competitions at the earliest possible stage this season, following the humbling loss to fourth-tier Grimsby in the English League Cup. United’s only chance of silverware this term is the Premier League, which would require a remarkable turnaround with the 20-time champion currently seventh in the standings and 17 points behind leader Arsenal with 17 games left. Arsenal advance Arsenal advanced earlier Sunday with Gabriel Martinelli scoring a hat trick in a 4-1 win at Portsmouth. Martinelli’s treble helped the Premier League leader …

Odegaard back on target as Arsenal beat Brighton 2-1 to reclaim top spot

Odegaard back on target as Arsenal beat Brighton 2-1 to reclaim top spot

Published by Webster

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard’s first club goal of the season helped his side beat Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 at home on Saturday to return to the top of the Premier League table. For the second week running, Arsenal kicked off having been displaced by Manchester City earlier in the day and they responded once again to the challenge although what appeared on paper a routine win was fraught with late nerves. Odegaard’s season has been disrupted by a knee injury but the Norwegian showed his trademark precision in the 14th minute to drive a left-footed shot low past Brighton keeper Bart Verbruggen to give Arsenal ‍a deserved ⁠lead. Mikel Arteta’s side were totally dominant and doubled their lead with a Georginio Rutter own goal in the 52nd minute – the Frenchman getting a touch to a Declan Rice corner. Brighton had offered next to nothing as an attacking force until Diego Gomez slammed in a rebound in the 64th minute after Yasin Ayari’s shot came back off the post. The visitors came ​on strong …

Mohamed Salah records landmark assist for Liverpool in Brighton win after a turbulent week | Football News

Published by Parlour News

Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike bagged a double to secure a 2-0 Premier League victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday while talisman Mohamed Salah, whose future at the Merseyside team is uncertain, recorded a landmark assist on an emotional afternoon. Arne Slot’s men climbed provisionally to sixth in the table on 26 points after 16 matches, seven behind leaders Arsenal, while Brighton are now three points off Liverpool in ninth. “For the first time in weeks, I feel like we had a bit of luck today,” Slot told the BBC. “Maybe we deserved this bit of luck, because of the mentality that we showed and the injuries and other things like that.” Close-season signing Ekitike fired the hosts into a first-minute lead 47 seconds in — the quickest goal in the league this season — after Yankuba Minteh’s dreadful attempted clearance. Joe Gomez headed the ball back in and it dropped perfectly for Ekitike, whose shot on the turn beat goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. Salah, whose future was plunged into doubt following his scathing criticism of …

Mohamed Salah included in Liverpool squad for Brighton match: Reports | Football News

Published by Webster

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been included in their squad for Saturday’s Premier League match at home to Brighton & Hove Albion, British media have reported. Manager Arne Slot earlier said he had no reason to want Salah to leave Liverpool as the Dutchman prepared for a face-to-face meeting with the Egypt international on Friday. Slot moved to calm speculation over Salah’s future after the 33-year-old’s criticism of the club following last weekend’s 3-3 draw at Leeds United. The Egyptian said he had been made a scapegoat for Liverpool’s poor form and that his relationship with Slot had deteriorated. His outburst sparked questions about Salah’s future at the Merseyside outfit, who are languishing in 10th place with 23 points from 15 matches, a stark contrast to last year’s title-winning campaign. Salah was left out of the team that travelled to Italy for their 1-0 Champions League victory over Inter Milan on Tuesday. “I will have a conversation with Mo this morning, the outcome of that conversation determines how things will look tomorrow,” Slot told reporters …

Danny Welbeck Sinks Newcastle As Brighton Reach FA Cup Quarter-Finals

Published by Webster

Danny Welbeck sent Brighton into the FA Cup quarter-finals as his extra-time strike clinched a dramatic 2-1 win against Newcastle in a stormy clash scarred by red cards for both teams. Alexander Isak’s penalty put Newcastle ahead in the fifth round tie at St James’ Park. Former Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh equalised before the break, setting the stage for an explosive second half. Newcastle forward Anthony Gordon was sent off for violent conduct in the 83rd minute after shoving Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke in the head. Brighton were also reduced to 10 men late in the second half when Tariq Lamptey was dismissed for a second booking. Fabian Hurzeler’s side emerged victorious thanks to Welbeck’s strike in the closing stages of extra-time. Brighton have never lifted the FA Cup and last reached the final in 1983 when they lost in a replay against Manchester United. The Seagulls have won five successive matches since their 7-0 thrashing at Nottingham Forest. They are through to the quarter-finals for the second time in three seasons …

‘Probably since I arrived, that is the worst performance’: Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca after his side lose 3-0 to Brighton | Football News

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca was furious with the side after they lost 3-0 to Brighton in the Premier League on Friday, calling it the worst performance since he arrived at the club. This is the second loss Chelsea have suffered to Brighton in one week with the Seagulls knocking Chelsea out of the FA Cup. “Probably since I arrived, that is the worst performance, especially in the moment we are in. We are fourth in the league, and winning tonight, you can go one point from third and make the gap to the rest bigger, and the performance is not one you want to offer, so we are very upset and sorry for the fans that were here,” Marseca said to Sky Sports. “”For half an hour, I think we were in control but after this moment (Mitoma’s goal) we looked like we could concede chances easily, and we struggled to create chances,” the 45-year-old Italian explained.“The reason why is because of the injuries in this moment, especially with the strikers … important players are …

Mohamed Salah Takes Liverpool Nine Clear, Forest Hit Brighton For Seven

Mohamed Salah Takes Liverpool Nine Clear, Forest Hit Brighton For Seven

Published by Webster

Mohamed Salah scored twice to take Liverpool nine points clear at the top of the Premier League by beating Bournemouth 2-0 on Saturday, while third-placed Nottingham Forest smashed Brighton 7-0. Salah’s double took him above Frank Lampard as the sixth highest goalscorer in Premier League history with 178 goals on another significant day in the Reds’ charge towards a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title. Bournemouth had not lost in 12 games in all competitions and beaten Arsenal and Manchester City at home earlier this season. The Cherries can count themselves unfortunate not to have extended that run as they hit the woodwork either side of half-time through Antoine Semenyo and Marcus Tavernier. Bournemouth were also furious over the awarding of a penalty that opened the scoring on the half hour mark as Cody Gakpo appeared to clip his own heels as he entered the box rather than being tripped by Lewis Cook. VAR did not intervene to overturn referee Darren England’s original decision to point to the spot and Salah ruthlessly rifled home …

Ruben Amorim Unleashed Fury, Damaged Dressing Room TV After Manchester United’s 1-3 Loss To Brighton: Report

Published by Webster

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim only joined the club in November, but is seemingly already running out of patience with the performances and the players at his disposal. In a move that is typically out of character for Amorim, the Portuguese reportedly damaged the giant screen television inside Manchester United’s dressing room, in a fit of fury following his side’s 1-3 loss at home against Brighton and Hove Albion. The result was United’s seventh loss in 15 games under Amorim, leaving them 13th in the Premier League table. Following the defeat, Amorim had labelled the current United squad as the “worst in the history of the club”, and seemingly did not spare his players. As per a report by British media outlet The Athletic, Amorim did not hold back his emotions after the loss, angrily letting his displeasure be known to the Manchester United players following his defeat. In this process, the Portuguese manager reportedly damaged the giant screen television inside the United dressing room usually used to go through tactics before games. …
