Chelsea roller-coaster high-scoring thriller Fiji Times

Chelsea's 3-2 win over Brighton & Hove Albion brings their total goals to 23 in the last four league games.

Chelsea's season has been anything but dull, with a 3-2, 10-man home win over Brighton & Hove Albion bringing their total goals in the last four league games to 23. While Mauricio Pochettino's men have shown promise in attack, conceding 11 goals in the same period highlights their need for defensive improvement.

Despite a comfortable start, Chelsea faced a challenge after a curling strike from Facundo Buonanotte and a second yellow card for captain Conor Gallagher. However, a penalty strike from Enzo Fernandez and a late Joao Pedro header secured the win, even as a VAR check overruled a penalty for Brighton.

Pochettino praised his young players for rising to the challenge of playing with 10 men, emphasizing the opportunity for growth. Chelsea, currently in 10th place, will face Manchester United next.

Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi lamented the "three very stupid goals" his side conceded but refused to comment on the referee's decision that allowed Fernandez to score from the spot. Despite the challenges, both teams continue to strive for improvement in the Premier League.
