Chelsea, who have been in a slump this season, beat Brighton 1-0 at home in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup on Thursday (28) to end a three-game losing streak. However, Chelsea suffered another injury in the match, with Giovanni coming out late in the game, and will be out for a few more weeks.
Chelsea's three-pronged attack of Medley, Nicholas Jackson and Golpenma was not as good as Brighton's, but it was a solid defensive effort, and Nicholas Jackson's 51st-minute strike sealed the win for Chelsea, which will advance to the Round of 16 and a home match against Brighouse Rangers.
However, Chelsea's injury-riddled squad has been added to this year's squad, with left-hander Chivier suffering an injury at the end of the match after a substitution period, leaving Chelsea to complete the tournament with 10 men," confirmed Pjetjenu after the match.
