Chelsea 4–3 Brighton | Entertainers

Chelsea are many things right now, but boring isn't one of them.

Chelsea's centre-backs played more diagonal balls than five-yard passes at the weekend, and that's the story of Xabi Alonso's Chelsea in one stat.

A 4-3 win over Brighton, three goals inside half an hour from Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto, Emiliano Martinez's first game in a Chelsea shirt, and a defence that still has plenty to fix.

Chris and Joe on the possession numbers, VAR's surprisingly light touch so far this season, and Wesley Fofana finally looking like himself again.

Then: deadline day chaos. Enzo Fernandez finally away to Man City, a stunning Tosin-Mudryk double deal to Tottenham, and Robert Sanchez off to Como.
