EPL: Brighton manager reveals two Chelsea players he targeted in 4-1 win

By Adeleye Kunle

Brighton manager, Roberto Di Zerbi, has revealed that he specifically targeted two Chelsea players during their 4-1 win on Saturday.

Leandro Trossard put the Seagulls in front before two own goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevoh Chalobah.

Kai Havertz pulled one back shortly after the restart, but Pascal Gross added more gloss to the scoreline in stoppage time.

Throughout the match, Brighton found joy down the flanks, with Pervis Estupinan and Kaoru Mitoma raiding down the left and Solly March causing problems down the right.

With Potter starting Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling in wing-back roles, De Zerbi set out to exploit Chelsea’s outside centre-backs – Chalobah and Marc Cucurella.

“We prepared the game one-to-one with Mitoma with Chalobah and one-to-one Solly March against Cucurella.

“But Trossard was fantastic, Adam Lallana the same. All the players were fantastic,” he told Brighton’s website
