There will be those who look only at the result and see in Chelsea’s 3-1 win away to Brighton on Monday as the beginnings of Chelsea’s bright new future. And perhaps it will be. All journeys have to start somewhere, and even a faltering step forward is going in the right direction. Brighton has the potential to be an awkward side and held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at home last season. Come the end of the season those three points may look very valuable. But there will have to be major improvements if Chelsea is to present any kind of challenge to the Premier League's top two.
