Conor Gallagher admits that Brighton ‘wanted it a bit more’ as midfielder says players should accept the blame for the Seagulls’ 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea in Graham Potters first defeat as Blues’ boss
Conor Gallagher admits Chelsea’s players must accept blame and be self-critical after conceding Brighton “wanted it a bit more” during Saturday’s 4-1 Premier League thrashing at the Amex Stadium.
Graham Potter’s return to the south coast fired up a raucous home crowd and ended in embarrassment as his former club emphatically inflicted his maiden defeat as Blues boss.
Leandro Trossard’s early opener was followed by first-half own goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevoh Chalobah before Pascal Gross completed Potter’s misery after Kai Havertz had given the visitors a glimmer of hope.

Graham Potter’s return to Brighton didn’t go to plan after seeing his Chelsea side lose 4-1
England midfielder Gallagher acknowledged Chelsea were well below the standards required as they fell to a first loss in the 10 games since the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.
“It’s a tough one to take,” the 22-year-old told his club’s website. “At the end of the day, we we’re not good enough individually or as a team.
“It seemed like they wanted it a bit more than us.
“We have to look at ourselves. We’re to blame and we are gutted, very disappointed in ourselves as a team as we know we’re so much more professional than that.
“Credit to Brighton, they were very good. They’re a top team, their fans were up for it.”
