Chelsea had not been the best side in the first few minutes of today’s match. But a fatal mistake by one of Brighton’s defenders forced goalkeeper Mat Ryan into fouling debutant Timo Werner, who wins the penalty chance for the Blues.
Midfielder Jorginho, as calm as a business veteran on yet another day at the office, takes the penalty, dislodges Ryan to the opposite side of his shot with his “faint”, and scores. 1-0, Chelsea!
