For the first time since 2021, Chelsea have started a Premier League season with two straight wins. Xabi Alonso has therefore made a perfect start to life in charge.
On Sunday afternoon at Stamford Bridge, the Blues beat Brighton (4-3) after scoring three goals in the first half.

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!
