Chelsea have won two consecutive Premier League victories after a slight win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday night.
Olivier Giroud opened the scoring in the first half and Eden Hazard and Ruben Loftus-Cheek added the lead to the team after the break to complete the championship double against the Seagulls.
The result means the Blues beat Manchester United in the table and are now tied for points with Arsenal, while the top four race is raging.
This is how we rated the Chelsea players against Brighton.
Kepa Arrizabalaga – 6
Had nothing to do in the first 45 minutes of the game. Was the same throughout the second half, but remained alert to take crosses when they entered the surface.
Emerson – 6
Did a decent job left but did not really find himself too troubled by the Brighton attack. Proven a decent outlet for Chelsea to go into possession.
David Luiz – 7
He made a nice pbad to the back and did some good defensive work during the Brighton attack. A strong performance of Luiz who did not have to do a lot of defense but who did what was needed to do well.
Andreas Christensen – 6
A discreet opening for Christensen that dealt quite well when Brighton asked questions from top to bottom. Well defended and did not look too troubled during the match.
Cesar Azpilicueta – 6
Could move to the right to support Hudson-Odoi, but was not able to do much when he received the ball into the area. Had a decent match before being replaced by Zappacosta with 18 minutes.
Jorginho – 7
Tried to defeat Brighton's defense by cutting the balls very high in the first half, which had a mixed success rate. Well done in the second half and exchanged between his teammates to sculpt the pen Brighton for the second.
N & # 39; Golo Kante – 6
He played well in his more advanced role and made some nice pbades behind the defense that Jorginho tried to spot. His constant race ensured that Brighton did not have the time to
Ruben Loftus-Cheek – 8
Played a nice exchange with Hazard to find the Belgian in a pocket of space to shoot in the second goal of the team. Change roles to score an amazing goal a minute later.
Eden Hazard – 8
The match progressed as the game progressed, but it was clear that his skill and ability to play the ball caused defense problems in Brighton when he showed up. Scored a magnificent goal before becoming a supplier for Loftus-Cheek to score his goal.
Callum Hudson-Odoi – 8
Made a stunning first half in his first Premier League, creating opportunities and still struggling with his man. Delivered a good cross for the opener.
Olivier Giroud – 7
He fought well in the top 45 with his back to goal and got his goal when he managed to get to the center of Hudson-Odoi's center. A good match of the Frenchman who thinks he has worked enough to show that he should be the first choice striker.
replacements
Davide Zappacosta – 5
He did not have much impact on the game when he arrived with a Brighton who had a few more chances on the right side after his introduction.
Mateo Kovacic – 5
We had very little time to take care of the suite after our arrival, while it was about ten minutes tied for Loftus-Cheek.
Willian – 5
He remained seven minutes, leaving him no time to influence the game.
