Despite Brighton's unfortunate 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at the American Express Stadium, Ghanaian defender Tariq Lamptey showcased his skills on the field.

The match began with high intensity, as Brighton & Hove Albion entered the game with a record of three wins against Chelsea's nine victories and five draws in between.

Lamptey, a pivotal player in Brighton's lineup, started the match and valiantly played for 85 minutes.

Although Chelsea dominated possession, Lamptey's defensive contributions were significant, with one crucial clearance and four ground duels won.

His influence was not limited to defence only; he also made four key passes and created a notable chance.

The match featured several critical moments, including two goals from Chelsea by Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku, which were countered by a late goal from Brighton's Danny Welbeck.

The game's intensity reached its peak when Reece James received a red card for violent conduct in the 87th minute.
