    Brighton dump Chelsea out of FA Cup as Mitoma nets winner

    Brighton came from behind to beat Chelsea and reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.

    The Blues took a fortunate lead early on when Cole Palmer’s volleyed cross from the left was fumbled into his own net by Bart Verbruggen.

    But Albion came back and Georginio Rutter headed in from Joel Veltman’s cross.

    And they took the lead when Rutter picked out Kaoru Mitoma, who dinked the ball over Robert Sanchez.

    Chelsea felt the goal should have been disallowed, as the ball struck Tariq Lamptey’s arm in the build-up, though there are no video assistant referees in the FA Cup fourth round.

    • Chelsea beat West Ham to reach sixth successive League Cup final

    Those goals came from Albion’s only shots in the first 60 minutes.

    Enzo Maresca’s visitors – who fielded a strong side – rarely looked like equalising, with Enzo Fernandez shooting over the bar, and have now gone five away games without victory.

    The clubs meet again at Brighton’s Amex Stadium on Friday (20:00 GMT) in the Premier League, where Chelsea are nine points and six places above their cup conquerors.
