Chelsea 2-0 Brighton and Hove Albion: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2019-20 

#4 Defensive solidity and a Willian goal kill the game off

Chelsea FC v Brighton & Hove Albion - Premier League

Chelsea put forth a solid performance down both ends of the pitch. They were far from clinical, owing to a conversion rate of 20%, but the home side got the job done without major setbacks.

Defensive discipline was key, as despite not having found the back of the net in the first half, Chelsea avoided any potential scares of an upset. The back four did much better than it has previously, and the Blues are slowly appearing to have found their gear.

And just when it looked like they needed a second after a string of opportunities, Willian's goal put the result beyond doubt. Callum Hudson-Odoi, who galloped forward and covered almost half the length of the pitch, supplied a fine pass to the Brazilian, whose deflected effort left the Brighton goalie with absolutely no chance.
