Moses on target as Chelsea rediscover scoring touch to thrash Brighton

Published

on

Super Eagles winger, Victor Moses, was on from the start for Chelsea and scored a late goal to complete the 4-0 thrashing of Brighton and Hove Albion in a Premier League encounter on Saturday.

Having gone winless in the league since the start of the year, Chelsea began the goals haul when Eden Hazard clinically fired them ahead in the third minute.

Willian added the second three minutes after from a powerful shot, before seeing a free-kick pushed on to the post by Brighton keeper Mat Ryan in the 77th minute for Hazard to score his second with a fine solo effort.

With the away side already cruising to victory, Moses found the back of the net for the first time this season in the 89th minute and sealed the win for the Premier League champions.

Chelsea climbed to third in the table as they moved level on points with second-placed Manchester United, who play away to Burnley later on Saturday.

The Blues will play next against Arsenal in the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals at the Emirates on January 24.
