After Brighton & Hove Albion secured a 3-3 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the West London side was left to reflect on what they must do to secure the Premier League title. In an enthralling encounter, Chelsea led 3-0 after just 32 minutes, only for Brighton to rally and equalize twice in quick succession. Despite the intensity, Chelsea's possession was poor, registering just 26% of the ball, with 146 passes – their lowest since the 2003/04 season.
Pundit Glenn Murray said the team must improve their game control if they're to progress in the league, saying "Xabi Alonso will definitely want better game management." Chelsea have signed goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to replace Robert Sanchez, who had a poor performance against Fulham. As the Blues prepare for their next match against Arsenal, they will need to enhance their ability to control games if they hope to challenge for the title.
