Despite the Seagulls’ spirited response in the second half, which saw them pull it back to 3-2, Chelsea secured all three points thanks to Cole Palmer’s goal to restore their cushion in the 74th minute. Pascal Groß’s stoppage-time goal in the 96th minute ultimately proved academic.

Also worth noting was Emiliano Martínez’s convincing debut in goal, despite conceding three times.

For Brighton, 20-year-old Ivorian midfielder Malick Yalcouyé, who scored and provided an assist, was the standout performer of the day. A gem to keep an eye on!
