Chelsea shared a goalless draw with Brighton to climb into the Champions Leagues places on a night where the future of European football came to a dramatic head.
The fixture was almost a side note, with the news breaking before kick-off that Chelsea were preparing to pull out of the European Super League at the same time as their fans were protesting the club s inclusion outside Stamford Bridge.
The Blues notice of withdrawal was followed by that of Manchester City, with the other four English clubs later joining them as the controversial new competition unravelled just 48 hours after the 12 clubs involved unveiled their proposals.
