4' GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Chelsea (Hazard

Moses finds space down the right and drills a low ball into the mixer. It's not a great ball but Stephens makes a lazy clearance and directs it straight to Hazard about 10 yards. One drop of the shoulder and bang. It's in the net. Classy finish.

6' GOAL! Brighton 0-2 Chelsea (Willian)

OH, SENSATIONAL! The early goal has sent confidence breezing through Chelsea's veins - what a move this is. Kante breaks the play up and fizzes a ball forward. Hazard flicks it to Batshuayi and there's movement all over the front-line. Batshuayi plays a first-time flick to Willian, who belts it home from 20 yards.

30' Great save from Caballero!

Propper lifts a delightful ball into the area and Hemed is free as a bird from six yards. He bullets a header down but too close to Caballero. That said, the goalkeeper has to fling a strong hand at the ball to claw it out.

59' POST! Luiz steps aside and Willian strikes. He catches it perfectly. The ball zings towards goal but Ryan flings himself across to get a vital hand on it to push it onto the post. Super save.

77' GOAL! Brighton 0-3 Chelsea (Hazard)

The star of the show wraps it up. Brighton are simply petrified of him - and this goal proves it. He picks the ball up on the left and dribbles towards goal. Brighton back off, back off, back off, back off, until Hazard gets into the area and sends Ryan the wrong way. Brilliant attacking. Hideous defending. 

89' GOAL! Brighton 0-4 Chelsea (Moses)

Musonda has had a fine 10 minute cameo and caps it with an assist. He loops a 40-yard ball over the top of the Brighton back-five and Moses sprints through. His first touch is classy, which sets him up to roll it past Ryan with his left-foot.
