Julio Enciso Scores Stunning Winning Goal As Brighton Beat Chelsea

Chelsea 1-2 Brighton

Paraguayan teenager Julio Enciso scored a stunning long-range winner as Brighton beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The 19-year-old, who joined Brighton from Club Libertad for less than £10 million in June last year, unleashed a brilliant strike into the top corner of Kepa Arrizabalaga's net 70 minutes into Saturday's Premier League game.

Enciso's goal came after Danny Welbeck had equalized for Brighton following Conor Gallagher's deflected opener for Chelsea.

Brighton were thoroughly deserving of their victory, which saw them move 10 points clear of Chelsea in the EPL table.

The visitors attempted 26 shots on Saturday - 18 more than Chelsea.

Brighton remain in contention to challenge for a top-four finish, especially as Newcastle and Tottenham both lost on Saturday.
