The Blues were second-best at the Amex Stadium against Brighton, but took the lead through a Hakim Ziyech strike.
Brighton rallied in the second half and equalized through Adam Webster and looked the better team for the majority of the game.
Ziyech did not celebrate his goal against the Seagulls, and Murray suggested on BT Sport that his body language after the goal was flat, pretty much like his club’s display:
Chelsea all but out of the Premier League title race
The Blues looked leggy against Brighton, who saw less of the ball but played with more verve. This was Chelsea’s third draw in four games, and they have now failed to win their last four in the league.
The Blues could fall 15 points behind Manchester City if the league leaders win their game in hand. Even though there are 15 games left to play, the gap might already be too much for Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel’s side have not hit their stride in recent weeks as tiredness has seemingly seeped into their game.
The Blues are active in four competitions, and that will become five in February when they play in the Club World Cup.
