Chelsea were condemned to a third straight defeat under Frank Lampard in stunning fashion as 19-year-old Brighton star Julio Enciso came off the bench to score a potential goal of the season.
The goal was worthy of winning any game as it was a thunderbolt from outside the box which left goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga with no chance, as per BBC.
The Blues had initially taken the lead through Conor Gallagher, whose deflected strike found the back of the net.
However, Brighton were back in the game as Danny Welbeck drew the scores level before halftime.

Brighton were thoroughly dominant, as they enjoyed 67.95% possession in the opening 45 minutes, which was the most of any away team.
Their dominance eventually paid off, but it came from an unlikely source as Enciso, who replaced Joel Veltman at halftime, scored a screamer in the 69th minute.
It all came from a mistake from Reece James, which was pounced on by Solly March, who fed an unmarked Enciso and the Paraguayan did the rest.
Here is how sections of fans reacted on social media after the goal:
"Brighton's scouts are the best, they are gonna make a huge profit in transfers come end season," One fans said.
"He's been highly regarded for years now. The only shocker was that Brighton signed him," another added.
