Chelsea Cruise to 4-0 Victory Against Brighton as Moses Opens EPL Goals Account
In a commanding display, Chelsea secured a resounding 4-0 win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, with Victor Moses opening his Premier League goal account for the season. This triumph extended Chelsea’s unbeaten run against the hosts to eight games, with Brighton’s last victory against the Blues dating back to a 1933 FA Cup encounter.
The match kicked off in spectacular fashion, as Eden Hazard wasted no time in putting Chelsea ahead in the third minute. The Belgian maestro capitalized on a deflected pass from Willian, unleashing a clinical right-footed finish from 12 yards. The early goal set the tone for the visitors, who demonstrated their attacking prowess throughout the game.
Just three minutes later, Willian himself found the back of the net, doubling Chelsea’s lead with a powerful shot. A mesmerizing display of one-touch passes and flicks between Hazard, Michy Batshuayi, and Willian on the edge of the box culminated in the latter’s unstoppable 20-yard drive.
Brighton had an appeal for a penalty turned down in the 36th minute when Tiemoue Bakayoko’s challenge on Ezequeil Scheletto went unnoticed. However, the hosts started the second half strongly, with Davy Propper’s header rattling the woodwork in the 50th minute, denying them a goal.
With 11 minutes left on the clock, Hazard struck again, securing his eighth league goal of the season and his 11th in all competitions. Willian showcased his playmaking abilities once more, delivering a perfectly-weighted pass that allowed Hazard to fire home with precision.
In the dying moments of the game, Moses made his mark, exhibiting his skill and composure. Controlling Charly Musonda’s lofted pass with finesse, the Nigerian winger calmly slotted the ball into the net, sealing Chelsea’s victory and propelling them back to third place in the league table, level on points with second-placed Manchester United.
This dominant performance by Chelsea showcased their attacking prowess and solidified their position as a formidable force in the Premier League. With their star players firing on all cylinders, the Blues are poised to continue their impressive run in the competition.
