Brighton & Hove Albion delivered a commanding performance at the Amex Stadium, dismantling Chelsea 3-0 in a Premier League showdown, with Yankuba Minteh stealing the spotlight.

The Seagulls took control in the 27th minute when Kaoru Mitoma broke the deadlock. The Japanese winger capitalized on a defensive lapse from Chelsea, shooing home a composed finish to put Brighton ahead.

With momentum on their side, Brighton doubled their lead in the 38th minute through Minteh. Danny Welbeck turned provider, delivering a pinpoint assist that the Gambian forward dispatched clinically past the helpless Chelsea goalkeeper. The hosts went into halftime with a well-deserved 2-0 lead.

Chelsea struggled to respond after the break, and Brighton made them pay again in the 63rd minute. Minteh, full of confidence, latched onto a through ball, dribbled past a defender, and squeezed a powerful strike into the net to seal his brace.

Brighton fans erupted in applause as Minteh was substituted in the 89th minute, receiving a standing ovation for his dazzling display. His two-goal heroics, coupled with Mitoma’s opener, ensured Brighton’s dominance as they cruised past a lackluster Chelsea side.

With this emphatic victory, Brighton reaffirmed their attacking prowess, while Chelsea was left to ponder yet another disappointing performance.
