Chelsea crash out of FA Cup, Iwobi helps Fulham through

Chelsea have been knocked out of the English FA Cup after Brighton came from behind to beat them 2-1 in a fourth round clash on Saturday night.

The Blues had been gifted a lead in the fifth minute of the game when an own goal by Bart Verbruggen got the hosts trailing.
