The Chelsea team started the new season in the Premier League with an expected victory. Manager Frank Lampard’s alumni posted a smooth success over Brighton at Amex Stadium.
The Londoners prevailed 3: 1 and showed they will be a major factor in this year’s championship. For many, the Blues will be one of the contenders for the title in England, alongside teams from Liverpool and Manchester City.
Chelsea have spent more than £ 200 million on new players this summer and the selection for the club is far from over. Timo Werner and Kai Haverz debuted with the team today.
Jorgeninho, Reese James and Kurt Zuma scored for the guests, while the goal of honor for the hosts was the work of Leandro Trosar.

The game at Amex Stadium in the southern city of England started at a leisurely pace, and in the first ten minutes of the game, both teams definitely did not want to take any chances. The game was played mostly in midfield, and the only shot attempt was Adam Webster, who fired in the 5th minute, but far from goal.
Chelsea waited for her moment in the middle of the first half when the guests reached a penalty. The penalty came after a serious mistake in the delivery of the ball by the hosts. Stephen Alsate received from his goalkeeper, but he could not orient himself well and fit in with his partner. Instead, he handed the ball to Giorgino, who in turn led Timo Werner into the penalty area, where goalkeeper Matthew Ryan dropped the striker. With the execution of the penalty, Georgino went ahead, who was not wrong.
Contrary to logic, after leading the result, the Chelsea team took the game deep in their own half and acted on the counterattack.
The Brighton players made several good attacks and even managed to turn possession of the ball in their favor, but were unable to take Kepa Araisabalaga’s door. In the final minutes of the first half, Brighton rookie Adam Lalana collapsed on the pitch and demanded a change. He was replaced by Aaron Connelly.
Deep for the first 45 minutes, Timo Werner came very close to his debut goal for Chelsea, but after easily passing the Brighton defender on the left, he shot hard from a small angle and experienced ‘Seagulls’ guard Ryan took a corner.
The second part started with a very good situation for the hosts. Tariq Lampty broke very well down the right and shot hard diagonally, but the ball was blocked by Kurt Zuma and went to a corner kick.
Dizzying minutes followed, in which the two teams exchanged a quick goal. First, the locals managed to equalize through Leandro Trosar in the 54th minute after a long shot and an error from Kepa Arisabalaga.
Just two minutes and 28 seconds later, Reese James “hit” the home guard with a live projectile under the crossbar and quickly reestablished the lead for the guests.
Kurt Zuma, who scored after a cross from a corner, put an end to the dispute in Brighton.
Thus, Frank Lampard’s team recorded successes without his team shining much. Brighton once again failed to register a victory over Chelsea in England’s elite.
