Match Events
38' GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Brighton (Giroud)
Knockaert is beaten too easily by Hudson-Odoi and the teenager fizzes in a low cross to the near post, where Giroud arrives to squeeze the ball in from very close range! Chelsea lead!
Hudson-Odoi rewards his manager's confidence on his first Premier League begin, and he's had Knockaert's number ever since the Frenchman replaced March.
60' GOAL! Chelsea 2-0 Brighton (Hazard)
Hazard produces a moment of enchantment and Brighton are undone! He floats in from the left and gets the ball in a central area simply outside the box.
He feints to shoot, sending Dunk sliding endlessly, before twisting a lovely strike into the far corner! Chelsea really need to keep him this summer.
63' GOAL! Chelsea 3-0 Brighton (Loftus-Cheek)
Hazard turns provider for Loftus-Cheek as the pair swap roles in an almost identical move, with the Englishman terminating into the top-right corner from the edge of the box to make it 3-0 to the Blues! Hazard further adds to his remarkable count of goals and helps against Brighton, just as his contribution at Stamford Bridge.
Match Report
Chelsea's fringe players justified their selection as Callum Hudson-Odoi, Olivier Giroud and Ruben Loftus-Cheek played significant roles in Wednesday's 3-0 prevail upon Brighton and Hove Albion.
Maurizio Sarri shuffled his pack from Sunday's contentious 2-1 succeed at Cardiff City, giving Hudson-Odoi his first league begin in the process, and Chelsea rarely looked like dropping points as they produced an excellent presentation at Stamford Bridge.Hudson-Odoi certainly made an effect out wide, setting up Giroud with a pinpoint cross to give the dominant Blues the lead just before half-time with his first Premier League goal since November.
Eden Hazard doubled their advantage with an hour played and Loftus-Cheek – who set up the Belgian – wrapped things up three minutes later with a gorgeous 25-yard strike, sending Chelsea above Manchester United and into fifth.
