Match summary

Chelsea survived a dramatic Brighton fightback to win an extraordinary 4-3 at Stamford Bridge. The Blues raced into a 3-0 lead through Roméo Lavia, Pedro Neto and João Pedro before Brighton hit back through Malick Yalcouyé and a João Pedro own goal. Palmer’s late strike looked to have settled the contest, only for Pascal Groß to score in stoppage time and set up a nervy finish.

Key moments

Palmer settles the thriller: With Brighton threatening to complete an incredible comeback from 3-0 down, Cole Palmer restored Chelsea’s two-goal lead in the 74th minute with a superb finish. Brighton scored again late on, but Chelsea held on

Head-to-head history

The last five meetings have been remarkably even, with Brighton famously beating Chelsea 4-1 at the Amex and Chelsea responding with statement home wins. This has become one of the most competitive 'big club vs Brighton' fixtures in the league.

Why this match mattered

The result gives Chelsea a perfect start under Xabi Alonso, with two Premier League wins from two, but the three goals conceded will raise questions about their defensive resilience. For Brighton, the comeback showed plenty of character but ultimately ended in frustration. For Who2Win, it was exactly the sort of chaotic, high-profile Premier League fixture that makes the question of who fans WANT to win particularly interesting

Who2Win Verdict

The poll drew 1,118 votes, with Chelsea receiving 56% and Brighton & Hove Albion taking 44%. That 12-point margin shows fans clearly wanted Chelsea to win, although Brighton attracted a substantial share of the vote.
