Chelsea opened their account for the new Premier League season with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at the AMEX Community Stadium.
Jorginho gave his side the lead from the penalty spot after Timo Werner was clipped by Brighton keeper Matt Ryan in the 23rd minute. The hosts pegged Chelsea back early in the second half when Leandro Trossard's effort crept past Kepa Arrizabalaga in the away goal, before right-back Reece James restored the visitors' lead in glorious fashion just 100 seconds later when he arrowed home an effort from 30 yards out.
