Chelsea’s summer acquisitions joined forces to bring an end to the Blues’ unfortunate three-game winless streak at Stamford Bridge.
Nicolas Jackson emerged as the hero for Chelsea, helping them secure a 1-0 victory over Brighton in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday. A superb team play culminated in a precise pass from Cole Palmer, who showcased his skills during his inaugural start for the club. This pass found its way to the striker, who promptly fired in Chelsea’s first goal in four matches.
Jackson had a good chance saved later in the half and then thought he had doubled his team’s lead, but was denied by the linesman’s flag.
