Brighton & Hove Albion’s debut in the Premier League was not as expected. Potter’s team lost 1-3 to Chelsea on their stage and Colombian Steven Alzate did not have one of his best performances as he was involved in the Blues’ first goal.
Frank Lampard’s team was the one who proposed to start by taking possession of the ball and applying high pressure when the local wanted to go out with a dominated ball at ground level.
Stand up in his intention not to break the chain of good passes, he made a mistake when looking for a partner and this was taken advantage of by the visitor to take a bad stop to the defense and cause Ryan to take down Werner as he was about to score his first goal for Chelsea. Jorginho did not miss from the penalty spot, giving Lampard’s men peace of mind to face the rest of the first half.
The Colombian Alzate tried to generate play in the middle of the court but Potter’s men looked imprecise and with little dynamics to reach the goal defended by Kepa.
In the second half the local wanted to improve, took the ball and began to create danger from the right side. At 53 minutes, Trossard surprised from middle distance and excited with a better performance in the complement. However, two minutes later James took the ball in front of the local area and with a strong shot with his right foot he left the goalkeeper with no chances.
With the difference in their favor, the visitors gave access to Barkley, Hudson Odoi and Azpilicueta. The goal that sentenced history was by Zouma who was able to hit a center from the top of the field with a right hand.
Steven Alzate was replaced by Gross and White for Jahanbakhsh with ten minutes remaining, despite the modifications, Brighton could not react and ended up giving up the first points in their stadium.
In the next Premier League match, Alzate’s team will play against Newcastle on Sunday, September 20 at 8:00 am, Colombia time. For their part, Chelsea will host Liverpool on the same day at 10:30 at Stamford Bridge.
