Brighton & Hove Albion beat Chelsea for the second time in the Premier League this season, scoring a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge on Saturday with a spectacular goal from 19-year-old forward Julio Enciso.

Enciso, one of Brighton's many incredible discoveries, fired a rocket from around 25 yards to break the deadlock in the 69th minute and ultimately deliver the club's sixth win in nine contests.

The result leaves Chelsea without a win in six matches across all competitions and in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

Frank Lampard, who rejoined the club as interim manager, has lost all three games since returning to the dugout.

Conor Gallagher gave Chelsea an early lead with a shot that took a fortuitous bounce off of Brighton captain Lewis Dunk. That bit of luck helped Chelsea end a run of four games without a goal.

The visitors monopolized possession thereafter, and Danny Welbeck's header before halftime restored parity.

The Seagulls sit in seventh place, one point behind sixth-placed Aston Villa and four back of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with two games in hand.
