Chelsea 4-3 Brighton: Palmer stunner settles seven-goal thriller

Chelsea secured a 4-3 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in an enthralling Premier League match at Stamford Bridge, thanks to a stunning strike from Cole Palmer. Xabi Alonso's men took an early lead through Roméo Lavia inside the first 14 minutes, setting the tone for the game. Pedro Neto extended Chelsea's advantage to 2-0 before halftime, with João Pedro pulling one back for Brighton just before the break.

Despite Brighton's efforts, including a goal from João Pedro in the 63rd minute, Chelsea managed to claw back two goals, thanks to a remarkable finish from Palmer in the 74th minute. João Pedro sealed Brighton's consolation goal deep into stoppage time, but it was too little, too late as Chelsea held on to claim the three points and secure two wins from their opening two games under manager Xabi Alonso.
