Match Recap

Seven goals, two comebacks, and a heart-in-mouth finish — Chelsea and Brighton served up the Premier League's most chaotic scoreline of the young season at Stamford Bridge. Romeo Lavia and Pedro Neto struck inside 14 minutes to put Chelsea in control, before Joao Pedro pulled one back for the visitors in the 32nd minute, only for the Brazilian to turn the game upside down with a second goal on 63 minutes that levelled it at three apiece. Cole Palmer restored Chelsea's lead in the 74th minute, and it looked enough — until Pascal Gross converted deep into stoppage time at 90+6 to set nerves jangling. The Blues held on for a 4-3 win, their second from two Premier League games, while this result snapped a run of back-to-back home losses for Chelsea against Brighton in recent meetings. Joao Pedro's brace for the wrong team, Palmer's ice-cool 74th-minute strike, and that Gross gut-punch at the death — every one of those goals is worth watching twice.
