Ghana defender Tariq Lamptey cameos as Brighton thrash Chelsea

Ghana right-back Tariq Lamptey was in action for Brighton and Hove Albion as they thrashed Chelsea 4-1 in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Lamptey climbed off the bench to replace Kaoru Mitoma in the 76th minute at Amex Stadium.

Leandro Trossard opened the scoring for Brighton with a calm finish put the home side in front before two own goals extended Brighton’s lead before the break, Ruben Loftus-Cheek putting through his own net from a Solly March corner before Trevoh Chalobah slid Pervis Estupinan’s low cross past Kepa Arrizabalaga.

After the recess, Germany international Kai Havertz nodded in Conor Gallagher’s cross to give the visitors hope in the 48t minute but a second-half Chelsea recovery failed to materialise.

Pascal Gross capped a miserable afternoon for Potter and his players with a close-range finish in second-half stoppage time.

Lamptey has made 11 appearances for Brighton this season across all competitions.

He is expected to be named in Ghana’s squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
