Ghana target Tariq Lamptey was the toast of many football lovers on Monday night with his splendid performance against his old club Chelsea at the Amex Stadium.

Brighton lost the game by 3-1 but undoubtedly the best player on the night was the Chelsea Academy graduate who showed his former side what they are missing as he run the slow paced Marcos Alonso ragged on the left flank.

He was a constant threat on the left flank and it was no surprise he gave the assist for the Brighton equalizer through Leandro Trossard after Chelsea had taken the lead through Jorginho.

A bullet from Reece James and Kurt Zouma ensured Chelsea run away with all the three points and a 3-1 win but most Chelsea fans were wondering why the club let go off Tariq Lamptey.

Don't let that absolute fucking thunderclapper distract you from the fact Lamptey has been the best RB on the pitch

Lamptey is so brilliant.

If only Chelsea and Lampard knew what would become of him.
