Brighton and Hove,  England— Brighton came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup fourth round on February 8th, 2025, but not before Brighton conceded an own goal from its goalkeeper in the first half. Despite the costly mistake that could have led to a defeat, the team’s midfielder, Georginio Rutter quickly equalized with a glancing header. 

With their hopes of victory renewed, Brighton’s left-winger, Kaoru Mitoma, sealed his team’s comeback with a 57th-minute goal that eliminated Chelsea’s chances of winning the FA Cup as Brighton edges closer to the title.
