Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo's injury concerns remain a worry ahead of the next fixture against Arsenal.
The match was marked by intense action and a dramatic comeback from Brighton, showcasing the competitiveness of the Premier League. With the win, Chelsea continues to build momentum under Alonso, though the team's defensive struggles remain a key area for improvement.
