Brighton 1 Chelsea 1
One incident defined the difference between the two teams.
This would never occur at Brighton who have such a strong collective team spirit.
They thoroughly deserved the draw with an equaliser from the outstanding Adam Webster.
Except up front, Brighton have quality in depth.
Graham Potter selected Steven Alzate, Pascal Gross and Jakob Moder in midfield – resting Adam Lallana, Leandro Trossard and with Yves Bissouma on African Nations Duty.
Neil Maupay was rested too and Lewis Dunk injured.
Graham Potter’s name is bound to be bandied around at Everton, which managerial appointment, looks like a poisoned chalice.
He has never had a situation of a £90 million signing like Lukaku, who gives an interview stating that he would rather not be at the club.
Potter works with what he has got and his team are 9th in the Premier.
They remind me of the very good Ipswich team of Bobby Robson in the 70s: strong spirit, challenging Liverpool and out-punching the bigger metropolitan outfits like Arsenal and Spurs.
