Brighton vs Chelsea match review
Chelsea went down with a 4-3-3 formation in this match. Two of his new Bundesliga recruits, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, started right away.
Chelsea’s decision to put Werner down from the first minutes was right. The German national team immediately made a real contribution in the 21st minute.

Jorginho, who was the executor, managed to complete his work well. He put the ball to the left, while the Brighton goalkeeper moved to the other side. 1-0 Chelsea took the lead in the 23rd minute.
