Chelsea beats Brighton in seven-goal thriller to extend Alonso's perfect start

In a high-scoring match, Chelsea defeated Brighton 4-3 in the Premier League, extending manager Xabi Alonso's perfect start to his tenure. Romeo Lavia scored first for Chelsea, followed by Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro, while Brighton's Malick Yalcouye pulled one back. After halftime, Pedro accidentally scored for Brighton, but Cole Palmer restored Chelsea's lead. Pascal Gross scored in stoppage time but couldn't change the outcome. The victory marks Alonso's successful start, with Chelsea having won their first three matches under his management. However, concerns remain about the team's defense, which has conceded four goals in these games. Emiliano Martinez made his debut for Chelsea after joining from Aston Villa, replacing Robert Sanchez. The match highlighted both the attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities of the team as they prepare for a crucial clash against Arsenal.
