Premier League latest score, match stream, goal updates and fan reaction

Chelsea will hope to arrest their dismal run of form as they head south to visit Brighton this evening.

The Blues come into the match winless since putting four past Aston Villa ahead of the March international break, failing even to score in their four league outings since.

That run has seen them slip to sixth in the standings, and they could fall further still should they be beaten again this evening.

Fabian Hurzeler’s side saw their three-win streak cut short at the weekend as they left it late to rescue a draw against relegation-threatened Tottenham, but are still very much in the European conversation as we approach the business end of the season and will usurp the Blues with a win here.

Liam Rosenior called time on his playing career while plying his trade at Brighton, but is in dire need of three points against his former club if he is to alleviate the pressure he is facing as a manager.

Brighton vs Chelsea latest news
A bruising half is brought to an end.

Chelsea lucky to be losing by only one.

HALF-TIME: Brighton 1-0 Chelsea
There’s the whistle.

Would it be unfair to call that Chelsea’s worst half of football this season?

There’s plenty of competition for that honour...

45mins: The fourth official tells us that one minute will be added.

Quite remarkable that Brighton only have one goal tonight.

Wesley Fofana is booked for a cynical (professional?) foul on Georginio Rutter.

43mins: Sanchez, again, punts a long pass directly off the pitch.

His distribution has been absolutely appalling tonight.

Chelsea are living so dangerously here.

Brighton could be out of sight if they could finish...

41mins: Chelsea counter and earn a rare corner, but cannot make anything of it.

The ball is cleared to Chalobah, who sees a speculative shot blocked.

That’s Chelsea’s first shot of the match, mind, and it comes courtesy of a centre-back.

40mins: A creative diagonal cross from Rutter to Mitoma looks dangerous, but Sanchez gets down quickly to cut out the danger.

37mins: Sanchez looks to play another quick ball out from the back and sends one long in search of Neto, but overcooks it so, so badly.

36mins: Another huge cheer goes up as Gross dumps Cucurella into touch with a shoulder to shoulder challenge.

34mins: Fernandez looks to release Neto with a long-ball but hesitates and sees his pass read by Kadioglu.

Just not happening for the Blues, in any respect.
