ENZO FERNANDEZ and Levi Colwill scored their first Premier League goals as ten-man Chelsea saw off Brighton.
The Argentine World Cup winner opened the scoring with a close-range header on 17 minutes.
And Colwill made it 2-0 four minutes later when referee Craig Pawson’s watch buzzed to prove the defender’s header had crossed the line before ex-Blues kid Billy Gilmour hooked it clear.
Facundo Buonanotte curled in a beauty just before half-time to halve the deficit.
But there was still time for Conor Gallagher to pick up a second yellow card before the break.
A VAR check concluded James Milner had fouled Mykhaylo Mudryk and Fernandez stepped up to slot the penalty home.
Joao Pedro’s glancing header in the 92nd minute set up a nervy finale at Stamford Bridge – especially when Colwill was penalised for handball only for VAR to overturn the penalty as the ball hit him in the face.
And Mauricio Pochettino’s men eventually held on for a crucial three points.
