Youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi impressed on his first Premier League start as Chelsea leapfrogged Manchester United to go fifth with a comfortable 3-0 win over Brighton at Stamford Bridge.
The Bayern Munich target is however, happy to have recorded his first Premier start with an incredible assist.
Striker Olivier Giroud got Chelsea’s opener in the 38th minute, a goal which took Hudson-Odoi’s goal involvement – goals and assists combined – to nine in nine senior starts for the club in all competitions.
That opener seemed to deflate Brighton, who never really came out for the second half, with Eden Hazard dancing through their defence before curling home Chelsea’s second on the hour mark, before Ruben Loftus-Cheek went one better with a superb curler of his own which flew into the top corner three minutes later to make it 3-0.
