In a closely contested match at the Amex Stadium, Chelsea managed to secure a 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, extending their winning streak and firmly establishing their position in the Premier League’s top six.

Chelsea took the lead early in the first half with a well-placed goal by forward Raheem Sterling in the 14th minute. Brighton, however, responded with resilience, equalizing just before halftime with a stunning strike from midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.

The second half saw both teams fighting hard for dominance, but it was Chelsea who eventually broke the deadlock. In the 72nd minute, a brilliant solo effort from midfielder Mason Mount found the back of the net, securing the Blues’ lead and ultimately, the victory.

This win marks Chelsea’s fifth consecutive victory in the league, showcasing their improving form under manager Mauricio Pochettino. With this result, Chelsea now holds firmly onto the sixth position in the Premier League table, increasing their chances of qualifying for European competition next season.
