46. This game is all to play for now.
With Brighton's passing game, they could really utilise the space from Chelsea being a man down.
It could be a long 45 minutes for Pochettino's side, chasing shadows, trying to protect their lead.

Gallagher's inability to control his tackling may well cost his side dearly.
Ironically, he had been made captain for this game and did not show the temperament of one.
That said, neither has Reece James since he was made club captain at the start of the season.
Maybe one day Pochettino may see fit to make the only leader, Thiago Silva, the skipper of this Chelsea team.

Chelsea were sitting pretty after two almost identical goals gave them a cushion in this game.
The Brighton goal seemed to stun The Blues as they were in control of the game.
Gallagher still flying into tackles after already having received a yellow card was only going to end one way and the midfielder did not even make it to the interval.

The referee brings an entertaining first half to a close.
Hinshelwood was booked for a foul on Sterling just before the break.
Brighton will feel they are very much in this game, given that they now have a man advantage.
