Brighton played amazingly against Chelsea last week. They won two big games! First, they beat Chelsea in a special cup game. Then, on Friday, they won an even bigger game in the main league.
The match started with something wonderful. Brighton's goalkeeper Bart kicked the ball very far up the field. Kaoru Mitoma, who plays for Brighton, caught the ball perfectly. He ran past the last Chelsea player and scored a brilliant goal!
Mitoma made more magic happen later in the game. He moved through many Chelsea players and took a shot. The ball bounced around, and his teammate Yankuba Minteh scored Brighton's second goal.

A minister from Djibouti named Mohamoud Ali Youssouf won a very important job in Africa. He beat Raila Odinga from Kenya after many people voted at a big meeting in Ethiopia. Raila tried his best but only 22 people picked him.
The meeting brought many changes. The countries picked a new boss named João Lourenço from Angola. He took over from Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani who came from Mauritania.
Three people wanted the big job at first. These were Raila from Kenya, Richard from Madagascar, and Mohamoud from Djibouti. Richard left early because he had few votes. Then Raila and Mohamoud kept trying until Raila stopped in the sixth round of voting.
