The scores were opened by the Argentine midfielder, Enzo Fernandez, before former Brighton loanee, Levi Colwill, doubled the lead four minutes later with his first Chelsea goal.
At first, things looked up for Brighton as Chelsea skipper, Conor Gallagher, was shown a second yellow card and sent off on the stroke of half-time. However, Fernandez restored Chelsea’s two-goal advantage from the penalty spot midway through the second half.
Brighton would then find a second as Chelsea conceded from a Joao Pedro flicked header in the second minute of injury time.
The Seagulls were then given a penalty in the 10th additional minute for a handball by Colwill, but VAR to intervene again and overturn the decision overturned.
This is just Chelsea’s second victory at home in the Premier League this season, while THE defeat means Brighton have now won just one of their last eight league games.
