+1' Brighton are piling on the pressure. Gross strikes and Sanchez makes a fantastic SAVE! Gross has another effort blocked and then Joao Pedro's header is deflected wide.
+2' GOAL, BRIGHTON, JOAO PEDRO, 3-2! Milner delivers a corner from the left and Pedro gets up above Broja and Colwill to flick home a header. It's game on with a full eight minutes left in this one. Chelsea 3-2 Brighton.
+7' Great tackle! Milner crosses to the back post for Brighton and a cutback is sent towards Joao Pedro. Thiago Silva reads it perfectly for Chelsea and flies into to make a perfectly timed tackle. That challenge could be worth the three points today.
+9' SHOT! Pedro does a lovely piece of skill to work a yard against Caicedo. He fires off a shot but Sanchez is down to it quickly and holds onto the ball with Brighton players storming in for any rebound.
+11' There is now a penalty shout as a Brighton cross hits Colwill in the face. It's pretty clear. Yet the VAR sends the referee to go have a look at the monitor. He promptly says it's not a penalty. What a bizarre situation.
FULL TIME. Chelsea have held on here to win 3-2. They were 2-0 up early on before Brighton pulled one back and then a Gallagher red card. A penalty from Enzo made it 3-1 and Brighton piled on the late pressure, pulling one back and having lots of half-chances. A game of drama and intrigue to enjoy. The Blues have a very rare victory in the league at Stamford Bridge. Thanks for joining us.
