Chelsea wasted NO time at Stamford Bridge as Romeo Lavia fired the Blues into an early 1–0 lead over Brighton
The goal came just four minutes into the match after Brighton struggled to clear a dangerous corner, giving Lavia the opportunity to finish from close range.
But this matchup was expected to be anything but easy.
Brighton entered the game riding high after a shocking 4–0 demolition of Aston Villa, while Chelsea were looking to build momentum following their 3–2 win over Fulham.
And there’s another major storyline: new Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez is making his debut after arriving from Aston Villa.
