Brighton (AP) – One day after his election as FIFA world coach, Thomas Tuchel suffered another setback in the title fight with Chelsea in the English Premier League. The Londoners separated away from Brighton & Hove Albion 1: 1 (0: 1).
After the 1-0 loss at leaders Manchester City last Saturday, it was the second game without a win for the capital club, who are in third place, twelve points behind the leaders.
Hakim Ziyech put the visitors ahead (28 minutes) before Adam Webster equalized with a header on the hour. The German central defender Antonio Rüdiger was in the starting line-up for the Blues, his national team-mates Timo Werner and Kai Havertz came on as substitutes in the closing stages.
