The team that finished fourth in the league last season won 3-1 Monday night at the opponent’s court. Leandro Trossa leveled in the second half after they went ahead on Georgino’s goal. However, Chelsea regained control of the match with goals from Reese Witherspoon and Kurt Zuma.
In the 2019-20 edition, Chelsea returned from this field with a 1-1 draw. This time they left the field smiling while maintaining dominance.
Goalkeeper Matthew Ryan was responsible for Brighton’s goal early in the game. Timo Werner got the ball into the D-box after taking the opportunity of his mistake. The Australian goalkeeper was forced to commit a foul to stop him. Georgino led the team with a perfect penalty shot in the 23rd minute.
In the 36th minute, Brighton’s Steven Alsate sowed fear in the opponent’s defense. Goalkeeper Kepa Arisabalaga returned the Colombian forward with a powerful shot, leaving the two behind.
Werner, playing for Chelsea for the first time, had a great chance to double the lead in added time. However, Ryan blocked the German forward’s shot in exchange for a corner.
The hosts tied in the ninth minute of the second half. Belgian striker Trosser found direction with a powerful shot from outside the area. His relief, however, did not last long.
Two minutes later, Chelsea took the lead again with the great skill of James. The 20-year-old English defender sent the ball into the net with a quick shot from about 25 meters away.
Chelsea increased the lead with a lucky goal in the 8th minute. Brighton center-back Adam Webster stepped forward to block a low shot from French defender Juma in the corner, and the ball bounced off the wire and into the net. The porter had nothing to do.
The rest of the time, the counterattacks continued, but no one was able to create meaningful opportunities.
Among the great teams, champions Liverpool and Arsenal have won in the first round of the league.
