Enzo Fernández struggles at Chelsea, Brighton next before Benfica | OneFootball

Chelsea lost 3-1 at home to Brighton in the seventh round of the Premier League. Enzo Fernández scored the goal for the Blues, but ended up witnessing a complete collapse of the team in this last match before the game against Benfica - which already has a referee assigned.

At Stamford Bridge, due to their favoritism, Chelsea started strong and managed to take the lead in the 24th minute. Former Benfica player Enzo Fernández scored his third goal in the Premier League, putting Enzo Maresca's team ahead at halftime.

In the second half, Trevoh Chalobah was sent off (53') leaving Chelsea with 10 men on the field. Brighton scored in the 77th minute through Danny Welbeck. When everything seemed to point to a draw, the Seagulls completed the comeback with a goal by Maxime De Cuyper (90+2') and the English forward still had time to score again (90+10').

The Benfica game pertains to the second round of the Champions League and will be played against the team led by Enzo Maresca.

The Reds want to secure three points, despite the task being challenging. In the first round of UEFA's prestigious competition, Benfica lost scandalously to Qarabag (3-2) at Luz, which led to the dismissal of Bruno Lage.
