Brighton & Hove Albion 0-4 Chelsea: 5 things we learned

#2 Brighton should've had a penalty

Brighton were frustrated not to have been awarded a penalty in the first half

The first half at the Amex Stadium was an easily frustrating one for home side Brighton. The Seagulls not only conceded two early goals but could've been awarded a penalty on two different occasions.

The first one saw Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero trip Ezequiel Schelotto in an unsuccessful attempt to get the ball off the Argentine. Referee Jon Moss ignored claims for a penalty by the Brighton defender, who was eventually booked for his protests.

Moss was again at the centre of Seagull fans' frustration as another challenge on Schelotto, this time by Tiemoue Bakayoko, saw him go down in the 18-yard box to no response by the Referee.

Whether or not Brighton deserved a penalty for either one of the challenges remains debatable, though, in a month when Video Assisted Refereeing has been a hot topic in English football, it can be said that had the technology been in play at the Amex Stadium, the Seagulls would've surely had a penalty - if not two.
