Thomas Tuchel’s men were held to a 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion FC in the Premier League on Wednesday night. Chelsea has again dropped points from the winning position as they were leading in the whole game but the last-minute equalizer from Danny Welbeck was enough for the visitors to take one point from this game. This draw was Chelsea’s third in the last four Premier League games. Tuchel’s men are searching for the momentum they had at the start of the season. As per experts, Chelsea FC is considered to be a strong title contender for the 2021/22 Premier League season since the start of the season but with the form they are currently in, it seems it will be very difficult for the Blues to overtake giants Man City to win the title this season.
