Chelsea 2-0 Brighton & Hove: 5 Talking Points
Chelsea got back to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion. The Premier League champions were made to struggle in the first half but two brilliant goals in the 2nd half got them the three points.
Alvaro Morata opened the scoring in the 46th minute with a beautiful header before Marcos Alonso headed in Chelsea's 2nd at the hour mark from a Cesc Fabregas corner.
The two goals were enough for The Blues to close the gap on 2nd placed Manchester United to a point. Here are the talking points from the game:
#5 – Same old story in the first half
Attack. Attack. Attack. But no goals at all. The Blues have dominated a lot of games this season but have failed to score even once.
It was the same thing again vs Brighton and it looked like they would be dropping points yet again. If it wasn't for Morata's goal early in the 2nd half, Chelsea fans would not have walked out with a smile last night.
Antonio Conte needs to add another attacking option to his squad in January or else there is no chance of him winning a silverware this season. The dependency on Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata is way too much.
