With the minimum difference, the Blues took the three points in the match on matchday 34 of the England – Premier League 2023-2024 tournament. At 33 minutes into the first half, Cole Palmer changed the course of the game with a header and then it was Christopher Nkunku who increased the lead after a play (18′ of the second half). Hope for the host team came in the 51st minute of the same stage thanks to Danny Welbeck, but it was not enough for his team to emerge victorious.
It can not be believed. Simon Adingra hit the post twice with his shot and choked off Brighton and Hove’s celebration.
The figure of the meeting was Cole Palmer. The Chelsea midfielder stood out against Brighton and Hove as he scored 1 goal, made 21 correct passes and kicked 6 times on goal.
Trevoh Chalobah was also a crucial figure on defense during the game. The Chelsea defender was important because he cleared 10 dangerous balls.
It was a game with many fouls and numerous interruptions. There were several reprimands: Lewis Dunk, Raheem Sterling, Moisés Caicedo and Bart Verbruggen. Reece James was sent off for a straight red card in the 87th minute of the second half.
Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi had a 4-5-1 formation on the field with Bart Verbruggen in goal; Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk and Igor Julio on the defensive line; Pascal Gross, Billy Gilmour, Facundo Buonanotte, Julio Enciso and Simon Adingra in the middle; and João Pedro in the attack.
For their part, those led by Mauricio Pochettino planted themselves with a 4-5-1 strategy with Djordje Petrovic between the three sticks; Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah, Benoit Badiashile and Marc Cucurella on defense; Moisés Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and Mykhailo Mudryk in the midfield; and Nicolas Jackson up front.
The referee appointed for the match was Michael Salisbury.
Brighton will visit Bournemouth on the next matchday, while the Blues will visit Aston Villa at the Villa Park stadium.
The local team is in tenth place with 48 points, while the visitor reached 60 points and is in sixth place in the tournament.
