⭐ Key Players

  • Romeo Lavia scored at 3'47'' as Chelsea took charge on the way to 4-3.
  • Joao Pedro scored at 31'18'' and assisted at 73'52'' in Chelsea's 4-3 result.
  • Cole Palmer struck at 73'52'', the decisive goal in the 4-3 win.
  • Pascal Gross scored at 90'00'', but Brighton still fell 4-3.

How did Chelsea build it? Quickly. Romeo Lavia opened the scoring inside four minutes, Pedro Neto made it 2-0 at 13'15'' from Morgan Rogers' assist, and Joao Pedro added a third at 31'18'' after Jorrel Hato supplied the pass. Brighton hit back before the break through Malick Yalcouye at 34'55'', keeping the contest alive despite Chelsea's early control.

And yet this never became comfortable. Joao Pedro's own goal at 62'44'' dragged Brighton closer, only for Cole Palmer to restore Chelsea's cushion at 73'52'' from a Joao Pedro assist. Pascal Gross then scored in the 90th minute to set up a nervy finish, but Chelsea held on.

The stats underline the chaos, but the result also keeps Xabi Alonso's side perfect after two league matches, with Chelsea third and Brighton eighth. Reflecting on his World Cup disappointment, Joao Pedro had said: "Procurei dar o meu melhor em todos os momentos. Infelizmente, nao foi possivel realizar esse sonho de representar meu pais em uma Copa do Mundo, mas sigo tranquilo e focado, como sempre tento estar."
