Five things we learned from Brighton vs Chelsea
Positives for both teams but the points all for Chelsea
90+4 mins: Chelsea sow up the points. Havertz and Werner made their debuts and Chelsea looked better the more the match went on. There’s work still to be done in defence and the goalkeeping position but Chelsea have made a good start to the season.
Brighton were the better team in the first half. They worked their way to an equaliser but ran out of steam in the end.
87 mins: One more goal would put Chelsea to the top of the Premier League but they don’t look too bothered about that. The visitors are just holding onto the ball, moving it from left to right and back again running Brighton around the pitch.
