Chelsea’s Struggles Deepen as Moises Caicedo Incident Draws FA Attention
Chelsea’s poor run in the Premier League continued with a 3-1 home defeat to Brighton at Stamford Bridge, extending their winless streak in the competition since the September international break. Although Enzo Fernandez’s early goal initially gave the hosts hope, the match soon spiraled out of control for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
The turning point came in the second half when Trevoh Chalobah received a red card for a dangerous challenge on Georginio Rutter. Being reduced to ten men shifted the momentum to Brighton, who capitalized on the advantage to secure an emphatic away win and compound Chelsea’s ongoing struggles.
Adding to the controversy, Moises Caicedo was involved in a heated altercation with Jan Paul Van Hecke late in the match. The Ecuadorian midfielder’s actions are reportedly under review by the Football Association, which could open an investigation and potentially impose retrospective sanctions depending on the outcome of video analysis.
The loss further highlights Chelsea’s inconsistent form ahead of a demanding fixture schedule. With upcoming matches against Benfica in the Champions League and Liverpool in the Premier League, the club now faces both disciplinary concerns and the challenge of regaining momentum on the pitch.
