Chelsea beat Brighton & Hove Albion 4-3 in the Premier League, winning despite Brighton’s 74% possession through a more efficient attacking display. Chelsea generated 2.93 xG from 17 shots, compared with Brighton’s 1.41 xG from 15, while both sides registered six efforts on target. The home side’s 3-4-2-1 shape absorbed long periods without the ball before creating higher-value openings, reflected in a decisive xG advantage of 1.52. Cole Palmer and João Pedro were among Chelsea’s scorers, while Pascal Groß and Malick Yalcouye scored for Brighton. Neither goalkeeper produced a strong statistical performance: Chelsea’s keeper recorded a 50% save rate and conceded 2.61 post-shot xG, while Brighton’s goalkeeper saved 33.33% of shots on target and conceded 2.6 post-shot xG. Chelsea take three Premier League points.
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
