Following Chelsea’s disappointing 2-1 FA Cup elimination at the hands of Brighton, defender Tosin Adarabioyo has promised that the Blues will respond with a stronger performance when they face the Seagulls again in the Premier League.

Despite taking an early lead through an own goal, Chelsea couldn’t maintain their advantage, conceding twice and failing to register a single shot on target in the second half. The defeat marked another setback in what has been a turbulent season for the Blues.

However, with a quick turnaround, Adarabioyo is confident Chelsea will bounce back when they return to face Brighton in league action next weekend.

“Our main focus is now coming back here on Friday,” Adarabioyo told reporters after the match. “We will analyse this game throughout tomorrow and throughout the week, and we will come back stronger on Friday.”

The Premier League rematch offers Chelsea a chance for redemption as they look to correct the mistakes that cost them in the FA Cup. With several days to regroup and reassess, the Blues will aim to put in a more decisive performance at the Amex Stadium.

As Chelsea’s season hangs in the balance, players like Adarabioyo are determined to turn things around, starting with a crucial league victory against familiar opposition.
