The atmosphere was so great at the Bridge today as Chelsea secured their first home win in the league after defeating Brighton 2-0. The Blues this season are not really good at home and most of their results has come from away but the finally break the deadlock this afternoon when they welcome Brighton to Stamford Bridge.
They don't only get their first win at home but also marked it with a clean sheet. They have also failed to keep a clean sheet since the league begins which has actually led to rotation in their back line. They don't really have problem upfront as Tammy Abraham has shown everyone while other teams should be very careful in their defense. Brighton look dangerous though when the game begins because they are yet to get a win in the league but Jorginho and Willian goal is all the blues need to denied them their first win.
The visitors had the chance to cancelled out the lead when they hit the cross bar before Willian converted Hudson-Odoi pass into the net to make it 2-0. The blues were in good form after scoring 7 goals in the Carabao cup against Grimsby during the week after the manager made lot of changes to his selection and bring in some academy graduates. Many of his starting line up in the league were left out of the line up against the game with Brighton.
Chelsea with the win are now sixth in the league and it was a job well done for the manager because no one expected such performance from the team. The started the league as underdog after losing their first game to Manchester United came back strong with the way they approach every of their games so far. Brighton are yet to get a win against the Blues in 9 occasion which now makes it the highest win against one team in the competition.
Both teams failed to score in the first half, although Chelsea created lot of chances but were a little bit unlucky. The team managed 17 shots in the first half but none of the shots were enough to separate them from the visitors, both Abraham and Pedro had 3 shots on target respectively while Mount free kick also hits the bar but the team look good and confident with the way they control the game.
Chelsea got their first goal in the 50 minutes through Jorginho from the spot after Mount was brought down in the box by Webster and VAR comfired it to be a penalty kick. They continue to push forward for another goal by control most of the game but were very lucky when Brighton hits the bar from Dan Burn's header. Frank Lampard introduced Hudson-Odoi in the 63 minutes for Pedro and the fans were so happy to see the teenager back into action in the league after been out for awhile due to injury. Willian doubled the lead for the host after scoring from Hudson-Odoi pass and that is his first goal for the club since January.
