Chelsea vs Brighton LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Chelsea vs Brighton LIVE!

Chelsea are celebrating a dramatic win over Brighton that takes them into the top half of the Premier League table. Enzo Fernandez and Levi Colwill both netted close-range headers from set-pieces to set the Blues on course for victory at Stamford Bridge, before things turned notably sour just before half-time as Facundo Buonanotte curled home to halve their deficit and stand-in captain Conor Gallagher was then quickly sent off for a second bookable offence.

Brighton could not drive home their numerical advantage after the break, however, with Fernandez notching his second goal of the afternoon from the penalty spot after a foul by James Milner on Mykhailo Mudryk. Joao Pedro headed in at the start of second-half stoppage time to spark a wild finish, with a last-gasp Brighton penalty award for handball against Colwill rightly overturned.

Chelsea now rise to 10th after responding well from the debacle at Newcastle, with a high-profile trip to Manchester United to come in midweek. Follow Chelsea vs Brighton reaction live below, with expert analysis from Nizaar Kinsella at Stamford Bridge.
