Undefeated in six consecutive matches!
Chelsea have not lost a match since the 2nd leg of the Conference League playoff vs Servette back in late August. Since that defeat, it’s been a remarkable run of form and with two more victories added to the total this week, including a 4-1 win last night vs KAA Gent in the opening match play of the Conference League. Could we make it seven before going into the international break?
This past weekend, at home, the lads came out victorious 4-2 against Brighton who had yet to lose a Premier League match this season and man, what a frenzy match it was. Cole Palmer lighting it up a new PL record four goals in the 1st forty minutes of the half,but early on Brighton did all they could to fluster the Blues. It took only seven minutes for the Seagulls to go ahead as they forced the defense to reach and caught Robert Sanchez out of position for the 1st goal. Then, Brighton oddly kept an alarming high press against the boys setting up a wide open break, and once they got through this high linem they were punished with through balls from Enzo Fernandez to Cole Palmer time after time, 1st one going wide off the post and then equalizing minutes later in the 21st minute. Brighton pegged another off a Sanchez mistake making it 3-2 but Palmer again decisively put one past the goal keeper off their own mistake with Jadon Sancho assisting to make in 4-2 and all of this in the 1st half of the match. That frenetic pace seemed to have tired out both sides and it played out more defensively with both dialing back the press seeing out the 2nd half with the same score.
The boys will now look to go into the break without dropping any points as they host Nottingham Forest.
Come down to the Londoner Addison this Sunday morning and kick it with the Shed End crew. We look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers,
