Brighton hosted Chelsea for the first game in the Premier League in 2020, and according to the two teams' behavior on the field, most players have yet to recover from the New Year's Eve celebrations.
Chelsea were the first to conquer, as early as the 10th minute, after the hosts defense found it difficult to keep away a ball, and Cesar Espiliqueta was there to continue a rebound out of the five-box net.
Other Chelsea attack opportunities were well curbed on Brighton, who also came out on their own and were close to being conquered at an early stage, those with a good ability by Chelsea goalkeeper Arzabalaga to bring Lampard's team to three points.
But, Chelsea finally paid the price for not being able to capture a second goal and finish the game. It happened in the 84th minute, when Lewis Dunk found Alirza Jahanbash, whose acrobatic kick scored a wonderful equalizer. At the 1: 1 finish.
In another game, Aston Villa overcame Burnley 1: 2. Scores of Wesley (27) and Jack Grillish (41) gave Villa a promising lead, and even after she hit the shrinking goal towards the finish - Chris Wood (80) - managed to keep the cash register.
