    I get the laughs about Ziyech scoring, but he has massively underperformed since he signed. None of the Chelsea attackers have provided anywhere near enough assists or goals for multiple seasons.

    Will in London

    Is Ziyech the grumpiest goal celebrator in the league? Looks like someone stole his lunch money every time he bangs one in.

    The game is a reflection of where both teams are at the moment. Brighton have been excellent but the better chances have fallen to Chelsea. The fact Brighton are still in the game is right because they have been excellent.

    Brighton started like a house on fire - Chelsea just couldn't get near them until Hakim Ziyech scored against the run of play. Chelsea showed their experience after that to knock the ball around and they go in 1-0 up.

    Chelsea have the lead at the break.

    Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech are still discussing that pass from earlier as they head down the tunnel animatedly. It looks like a healthy discussion though.

    Massive chance. Callum Hudson-Odoi got on to his right foot, he's got all the time, eight yards out and just smashes it over the bar!

    Tariq Lamptey breaks down the right and puts a decent ball in. Thiago Silva does really well but he's conceded a corner.

    Hakim Ziyech finds Callum Hudson-Odoi. He pokes it past Dan Burn to Romelu Lukaku.

    Lukaku tees it up for Hudson-Odoi but he blasts it over the bar. That was a real chance!

    Brilliant from Hakim Ziyech! He flicks it between his legs to spin away from Marc Cucurella.

    Romelu Lukaku makes the run and Ziyech plays him in but he's pushed wide. Lukaku is frustrated with Ziyech and lets him know about it. It wasn't a terrible ball, but it wasn't quite where Lukaku wanted it.

    They are a joy to watch Brighton, but football is about results. They are so close to being the final package, it's just that final third, really.

    Hakim Ziyech loses out to Marc Cucurella. Jakub Moder takes over, linking up with Danny Welbeck, before Cesar Azpilicueta pokes it out for a throw-in.

    Wilf, London: Ziyech deserves more credit. Yes he might not always keep the ball under pressure but his technique is really outstanding and he can change a game.

    Chelsea are overloading on Joel Veltman in particular. Mason Mount and Marcos Alonso are pulling wider and really trying to pick Brighton apart now.

    Marc Cucurella feeds in Danny Welbeck down the left. He doesn't have anyone in the box so has to cut inside. He holds off two defenders and curls it towards the top right corner but skews it. Graham Potter applauds the effort - he did well considering he was pretty isolated.

    Brighton move it around well but not quite quick enough. Chelsea are able to do just enough to prevent them getting a shot off.

    Marc Cucurella has to look back, before Tariq Lamptey jumps too early for the cross.

    The goal has been a massive sucker-punch for Brighton. It's taken the sting out of their tempo and energy.

    N'Golo Kante spins away in midfield and tries to find Mason Mount on the far side with a diagonal pass.

    It's well overhit and Mount can't keep it in play. The home fans jeer in celebration.

    Erik: That's what you call against the run of play. Lucky Chelsea.

    Arjun Singh: What a goal from Ziyech. That left foot must have a phoenix feather for a core like Harry Potter’s wand.

    Pascal Gross wins it in the middle and links up with Alexis Mac Allister. He finds Tariq Lamptey, who scoops a cross in, but it's headed away.

    Marcos Alonso whips a pacey ball in from the left. Robert Sanchez pushes it away and Jorginho skies the rebound from the edge of the box.

    Before that goal Thomas Tuchel hadn't left his seat for 10 minutes. When he had been up on his feet, he’d invariably been shaking his head in disappointment. He should at least be a bit happier now.
