Chelsea secured a thrilling 4-2 victory at Stamford Bridge in a fast-paced encounter against Brighton as reported by Chelsea News.
The match was dominated in the opening half as the Blues capitalized on Brighton’s open defense, allowing Cole Palmer to net an incredible four goals within just 45 minutes, essentially securing the win single-handedly.
Although Nicolas Jackson didn’t get on the scoresheet himself, he contributed significantly with an assist.
Interestingly, this assist brought Jackson’s combined goals and assists for Chelsea on par with Kai Havertz’s tally, but Jackson achieved this feat in 40 fewer games.
His role as a more traditional striker, compared to Havertz, has made a noticeable impact.
More importantly, Chelsea’s attacking output this season has been impressive, with 15 goals in the Premier League after six matches.
This is a huge improvement compared to last season when they only managed five goals by the same point.
The improvement shows Chelsea’s renewed attacking efficiency, which has been a key factor in their ability to secure vital points early in the season.
Despite some defensive lapses, conceding two goals that could have been avoided, Chelsea’s relentless attack made up for their mistakes at the back.
