Welbeck dents Liverpool's Champions League hopes in Brighton, Everton thrash Chelsea 3-0

Liverpool's push for a Champions League place took another hit as Danny ​Welbeck struck in each half to give Brighton & Hove Albion a deserved 2-1 Premier League win on Saturday, the reigning champions' 10th league defeat of a faltering season, Reuters reported. 

Everton kept alive their European hopes with a commanding 3-0 thrashing of Chelsea to hand the visitors a fourth straight defeat in all competitions, while Fulham came back from a goal down to beat struggling Burnley 3-1.

Brentford could manage only a 0-0 draw at ​Leeds United in a missed opportunity to boost their chances of European football next season, according to Reuters.
