 Enciso’s screamer helped Brighton to their first-ever league win at Chelsea, strengthening their claim for European football next season with a 2-1 comeback victory at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues’ latest setback – their fourth Premier League game without a win – leaves Frank Lampard’s side languishing in the bottom-half ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League second leg with Real Madrid.

He had hit the post from a tight angle a few minutes earlier, as Brighton maintained their first-half pressure, which had seen substitute Danny Welbeck head in a deserved equaliser after Conor Gallagher’s deflected opener.

It was a statement display from Roberto De Zerbi’s side, who had delivered a similar signal of their trajectory when they thrashed Chelsea 4-1 in October.

The fortuitous Gallagher strike ended a Chelsea goal drought which had stretched to six hours and 27 minutes but their issues all over the pitch were on show, with the visitors out-shooting them by 24 efforts to seven. It is going to take a substantial transformation in performance levels if they are to overturn their 2-0 deficit against Real Madrid.

In the Premier League, the result leaves Chelsea 11th, closer to the bottom in terms of points than fourth. But Brighton – who also hit the bar early on through Evan Ferguson before he was injured – are just seven points off Man Utd, who occupy that final Champions League qualifying spot.
