Brighton 1-1 Chelsea: Lampard's side stunned late by an incredible bicycle kick

Goal-shy winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh scored for a second game running as Brighton battled to a point at home to Chelsea on Wednesday.


Alireza Jahanbakhsh stunned Chelsea with a late overhead-kick to earn Brighton and Hove Albion a hard-fought 1-1 draw on New Year's Day.

The Iran winger ended his long wait for a first Brighton goal against Bournemouth on Saturday, celebrating with joyful tears, and his second quickly followed in a stylish start to 2020.



Chelsea looked to be easing towards a third straight Premier League away win after Cesar Azpilicueta's early strike, failing to add to their lead but largely comfortable at the other end.

10' GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Chelsea (Azpilicueta)

27' Abraham's shot blocked



Abraham dispossesses Mooy before rashly electing to shoot from distance rather than slipping Willian in behind and his shot deflects off Webster and drifts over the bar.
