Chelsea v Brighton LIVE: Blues clinch win in seven-goal thriller but suffer Moises Caicedo injury scare | OneFootball

Chelsea secured a second Premier League win in as many games under manager Xabi Alonso as they came out on top in another thrilling contest beating Brighton 4-3 at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues dominated the first half and took advantage of some early pressure, and a mistake from Bart Verbruggen, as Romeo Lavia poked in the opening goal. Pedro Neto then arrived in the far side of the box to meet a Morgan Rogers cross to double the lead but Joao Pedro rolled in a fine finish to send Chelsea three goals up.

But Brighton pulled a goal back before the break as Malick Yalcouye blasted in a rocket to keep the Seagulls in the game. Things improved for the visitors as a Pascal Gross shot deflected off Joao Pedro to reduce the deficit to one.

Cole Palmer calmed the nerves with a beautifully worked goal before Gross nodded in the seventh goal of the game just seconds before the final whistle. Two wins from two for Chelsea in another chaotic encounter.
