Until the 90th minute. A cross floated into the box was planted firmly in the corner by former Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck, to send the away fans into ecstacy.<\/p>\n<p>The game was something of an even contest for the first half, with both sides trading blows, the Seagulls stole the initiative for the opening part of the second 45 minutes, as the Blues hung on.<\/p>\n<p>Then. Tuchel and his side steadied the ship with the addition of one man, though it ultimately proved futile.<\/p>\n<h2>N\u2019Golo Kante saves all<\/h2>\n<p>Now, Chelsea fans have taken to social media to point to one man as the player that steadied the Chelsea ship in the second half, despite the scoreline.<\/p>\n<p>The player in question?
