Chelsea was heading for victory in the New Year's Day encounter at the Amex Stadium when Jahanbakhsh met a loose ball from a corner with an overhead kick which left visiting keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga with no chance.

The stunning 84th minute equalizer was no more than Brighton deserved from a spirited display after falling behind to an early goal for Cesar Azpilicueta.

It was the second goal in two games for second half substitute Jahanbakhsh, who had gone over 18 months without scoring since becoming Brighton's record signing from Dutch side AZ Alkmaar, and one that will linger long in the memory.

"It was the best goal of my career," he told BT Sport.

"I had a feeling I would make an impact in this game and when the ball came to me I tried as hard as possible to kick it and the only option for me was a bicycle kick," he added.

The draw has lifted Brighton further clear of the drop zone ahead of later New Year's Day fixtures, with Chelsea staying in the fourth and final Champions League spot with manager Frank Lampard frustrated after seeing his side's early dominance wasted.

"In the first half, the game was there to be won. We weren't ruthless enough," he told BT Sport. "We got the goal and we had the possession. But we just didn't kill the game off."

In the other evening kick offs, Gabriel Jesus scored twice as Manchester City inflicted a first defeat on new Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti in a 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium, to stay third, a point behind Leicester, while Norwich was held 1-1 by Crystal Palace to stay remain of the standings.

Arsenal appoints former player Mikel Arteta as head coach

Arsenal has appointed its former midfielder Mikel Arteta as new head coach on a three-and-a-half year deal.เอาชนะเกมสล็อต

The Spaniard replaces compatriot Unai Emery, who was shown the Emirates exit door at the end of November after just 18 months in charge following the club's longest winless run since 1992.

Since retiring as a player in 2016, Arteta has become an integral member of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff at Manchester City, winning seven trophies in his three years as assistant manager at the club.

Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg had taken over as interim coach while the club looked for a new permanent head coach but recorded just one win during his five games in charge.

"This is a huge honor," Arteta told the club website. "Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world. We need to be competing for the top trophies in the game and that's been made very clear to me in my discussions with (owner) Stan (Kroenke) and Josh Kroenke, and the senior people from the club.

"We all know there is a lot of work to be done to achieve that but I am confident we'll do it. I'm realistic enough to know it won't happen overnight but the current squad has plenty of talent and there is a great pipeline of young players coming through from the academy."
