Danny Welbeck sends message to fans after tearing Chelsea apart
Danny Welbeck has sent a message to fans after he tore Chelsea apart in Brighton’s surprising win on Friday (14 February).
It was a Valentine’s Day to remember for the Seagulls as they ended up dominating the Blues in what was Chelsea’s heaviest defeat of the Premier League campaign so far.
A Yankuba Minteh brace followed a goal from Kaoru Mitoma as Fabian Hurzeler dominated their way to three points to progress to eighth in the Premier League table.
The victory was Brighton’s second against Chelsea in less than a week after they knocked the Blues out of the FA Cup last Saturday (8 February), with the club responding well to their heavy 7-0 loss against Nottingham Forest.
It was also Brighton’s first clean sheet since their 16 January win against Ipswich Town, showcasing the defensive side of their team.
The Seagulls will be back in action next Saturday (22 February) against Southampton in the Premier League.
