Chelsea boss Graham Potter takes on his former club Brighton in a behind-closed-doors friendly... as Carney Chukwuemeka's double inspires the Blues to a 2-1 win

Chelsea manager Graham Potter faced his former club Brighton in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Saturday.

This weekend's Premier League clash between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge was postponed due to a lack of police resources ahead of the Queen's state funeral on Monday.

Meanwhile, Brighton's fixture against Crystal Palace was called off due to a rail strike.

As a result, the two teams faced off in a friendly match without spectators, in a bid to gain some form of match action ahead of the international break.
