Brighton's Danny Welbeck stunned table leaders Chelsea as they held Thomas Tuchel's men in a 1-1 draw on Thursday.

Although it seemed Chelsea would dominate the Seagulls, the Blues who got the lead in the first half had a bad day at the office as they struggled to face the pressure at Stamford Bridge.
