In the end, Chelsea found enough quality to secure the victory.
A Fast Start from Chelsea
Chelsea began the match with energy and attacking intent.
The home side created opportunities and showed the kind of confidence supporters will want to see throughout the new season.
Goals from Romeo Lavia, Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro helped Chelsea establish a strong position.
At that stage, it looked as though the match could become a comfortable victory.
Brighton had other ideas.
Brighton Fight Back

Their response turned the match into a genuine contest and reminded Chelsea that no Premier League match can be considered finished too early.
The scoreline continued to change, and the pressure increased as Brighton moved closer.
For Chelsea, the challenge was no longer simply about attacking.
It became a test of character.
Cole Palmer Delivers Again
With the match still in the balance, Cole Palmer produced another important moment.
His late contribution helped Chelsea secure the victory and gave the home supporters a memorable finish.
Chelsea had shown their attacking quality, but the match also offered lessons.
Conceding three goals is something the coaching staff will analyse carefully.
A team with title ambitions needs to find the right balance between attacking freedom and defensive control.
A Positive Start Despite the Questions
Chelsea have started the season strongly, and the attacking signs are encouraging.
The squad has talent across the pitch and appears capable of producing goals against any opponent.
However, the Brighton match also demonstrated how quickly momentum can change in the Premier League.

One of those matches will be particularly significant.
Chelsea are preparing to face Arsenal.
After both teams started the season positively, their meeting could become one of the first major early-season tests in the race at the top of the Premier League.
