Brighton's Balogun Fires Warning To Chelsea : We Beat Manchester United At Home
Published: December 14, 2018Leon Balogun has fired a warning to Chelsea ahead of Sunday's Premier League match at the American Express Community Stadium.
Despite being the underdogs heading into the fixture, the Nigeria national-teamer has pointed out that they beat Manchester United in August to back up his arguments that the Seagulls can can cause an upset against the five-time Premier League champions.
''They’re expected to win against a side like us and no-one is expecting anything other than a victory for Chelsea,'' Balogun told Brighton's official website.
''The most they’ll expect from us is that we’ll give them a hard game and still not get anything from it, which takes a lot of pressure away from us.
''We can play with a free mind and try to disrupt their game as much as possible. We beat Man United at home, and shows that we’re capable of beating a top team.''

Of the five Premier League matches Balogun has been involved, Brighton have lost twice to Liverpool and most recently Burnley while they beat Manchester United, Huddersfield and Crystal Palace.
