Todd Boehly appeared to row with Chelsea fans as tensions remained high at a toxic Stamford Bridge.

The new co-owner was in the directors’ box for this afternoon’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

Chelsea took the lead through Conor Gallagher’s deflected strike but the Seagulls battled back thanks to a Danny Welbeck header and Julio Enciso’s thunderbolt.

And a fired-up Boehly was pictured gesticulating and seemingly arguing with frustrated Blues fans.

The American billionaire engaged in conversation with the disgruntled supporters as they leaned over the barrier from the tier above and made their feelings clear.

Things have not gone to plan for Boehly since buying Chelsea from Roman Abramovich for £4.25billion last May.

Despite spending £600million on new players, the Blues are on to their third manager of the season, slumped 11th in the table and set to be dumped out of the Champions League.

Chelsea lost 2-0 away at Real Madrid, despite Boehly boldly predicting a 3-0 win in the Bernabeu for his goal-shy side.

Today’s result – defeat No12 in the Premier League – meant interim boss Frank Lampard has lost all three games since returning to Chelsea and replacing Graham Potter until the end of the campaign.

Brighton’s travelling faithful revelled in completing an emphatic double over the West Londoners, following the 4-1 thumping in October.

They taunted Lampard as a “s*** Graham Potter” in a cheeky swipe at his nightmare start.

And they even chanted: “You’re getting sacked in the morning.”

The Brighton fans were in top form – just like their heroes on the pitch – as they also burst into a hilarious chant calling Cody Gakpo “one of our own” following a blunder on the big screen.

As for Chelsea, it was a miserable afternoon with only goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga walking away with any credit.

And the result could have been even worse as the away side were denied yet another penalty by a questionable VAR call.

Referee Robert Jones and VAR official Chris Kavanagh failed to award a spot-kick despite Christian Pulisic handling the ball in the area.
