Chelsea 2-0 Brighton: Three reasons why the Blues beat Graham Potter's side | Premier League 2019-20 

#2 Magnificent performances at the heart of defense

Fikayo Tomori is growing into his Chelsea shirt, week by week

After a long, long wait, Chelsea registered a clean sheet. For sure, Lampard hasn't been helped by the recurring injury setbacks to the likes of Antonio Rudiger but Fikayo Tomori has slotted in imperiously.

The latter has been arguably Chelsea's best defender, much to the surprise of many. We thought it'll take a couple of years for Tomori to develop into a complete center-back, more so because he was behind Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Kurt Zouma in the pecking order.

But he has come into the side and put in consistent shifts time and time again. Tomori is quick across the ground but always alert to the ball played in. He's safe with and without the ball, as seen in recent performances.

Christensen was superb as well, chipping in with vital blocks and playing a direct role in keeping a clean sheet. A couple of interventions and tackles made by him proved to be massive for the Blues.

Chelsea are slowly beginning to organize themselves better and those are good signs for Lampard.
