Here you go.

Stephens has a dig from just inside the Chelsea box, but Azpilicueta and Caballero combine to deny him. And that’s that. On another day, Brighton could have had a penalty, maybe a goal or two. They played well in patches. But they didn’t have the luck, and no decisions went their way. And they started cold, Chelsea punishing them severely. Then the class of the English champions told during the latter stages. Antonio Conte’s men have ended a barren run with a stylish goalfest, and they join Manchester United on 50 points, for a couple of hours at least. The man of the match, the ever-sensational Eden Hazard, gifts his top to a young lad in the crowd, a lovely end to a fine afternoon for Chelsea. Not such a happy ending for Brighton, who are slipping towards relegation bother.

90 min: Kayal crosses from the right. Murray flashes a header over the crossbar. A consolation goal wouldn’t flatter Brighton, who have played well. They’ve just been undone by the class of Chelsea.

Musonda, quarterbacking from deep, loops a stunning pass down the centre to pick out Moses, cutting in from the right. He’s clear on goal. He takes a touch and guides the ball into the bottom right. A lovely goal!

88 min: Musonda elects to pull the ball back for Moses, instead of launching it into the mixer. It eventually ends up at Cabellero’s feet. A waste of an opportunity, not that it matters one jot.

87 min: Musonda drives elegantly down the right and is upended by Propper. A free kick, and a chance to pile into the Brighton box.

86 min: The travelling Chelsea support are running through their songbook. Carefree, wherever they may be. The Brighton fans entertain themselves by trilling abusive observations about Crystal Palace. Everyone’s happy right now, in their own way.

84 min: Izquierdo races down the left with a view to outstripping Azpilicueta, but a heavy touch runs the ball out of play.

83 min: Marsh is replaced by Izquierdo.

81 min: The wonderful Willian is replaced by the 21-year-old Belgian Charly Musonda.

80 min: Yes, this match was never going to finish 0-2. Though it took a while.

79 min: Goldson completes a miserable couple of minutes by picking up a booking for obstructing Hazard. Luiz tries to send the free kick into the top left from 35 yards. Ambitious, even for him.

A lovely solo dribble by Hazard, who is sent scampering down the left by Willian. He drifts inside. Goldson runs away from him, as opposed to putting in a challenge, and suddenly the Brighton defence opens up in the generous fashion. Hazard has acres to run into down the middle. He enters the box, and calmly rolls the ball into the bottom left. Chelsea will be joining Manchester United in second spot on 50 points, for a couple of hours at least.

76 min: Chelsea made their second change. Zappacosta comes on for Alonso.

74 min: Batshuayi gets involved in a garden-variety tangle with Dunk, and briefly considers pushing his head into his opponent’s mush, then thinks better of it. The ref tells him to stop playing silly buggers and calm down. A little flashpoint out of nothing. It hasn’t been that sort of game.

72 min: March tries to bustle his way through the middle, and very nearly works space to shoot on the edge of the Chelsea D. But he loses balance - with a little bit of encouragement from Kante - and Chelsea mop up. March wants a free kick, but he’s not getting it.

70 min: The ever-busy Propper robs Willian in the middle of the park and starts a move that sends Brighton into the Chelsea box. Murray can’t quite control to shoot; Schelotto has a whack that’s blocked the second it leaves his boot. Batshuayi threatens to tear clear on the break, but Duffy puts a stop to his gallop. This is a very open, entertaining match!

68 min: Brighton make a double change: Gross and Hemed off, Kayal and Murray on.

66 min: And then suddenly Brighton spring into life! Gross makes a nuisance of himself under a high ball. Rudiger only half clears with his header. Schelotto bursts in from the right, chests the ball down, and suddenly he’s one on one in the area with Caballero! But the keeper spreads himself brilliantly and saves Chelsea’s bacon. I repeat: how has this game stayed 0-2?

65 min: Moses probes down the Chelsea right but can’t make room to deliver a cross. The game’s slipped into a lull.

63 min: Chelsea break upfield straight from Brighton’s corner, Willian feeding Hazard down the left. Hazard enters the box and looks briefly threatening, but then runs the ball out of play. End-to-end fun.

62 min: Space for March down the inside-right, Brighton having put a few nice passes together to advance upfield. He looks for the top right, but the ball deflects off Luiz and out for a corner.

60 min: How on earth has this game stayed at 0-2? The woodwork has been bothered at both ends, and there have been three penalty shouts that on another day could have been given. The punters have had their money’s worth today.

58 min: But before the free kick can be taken, referee Jon Moss ushers a confused looking Christensen to the sidelines. The defender can’t continue. Luiz comes on in his stead. Willian then takes the free kick, sending the ball towards the top right. Ryan, at full stretch, pushes it onto the post, and the danger is cleared.

56 min: Hazard goes on a brisk meander down the middle of the park. He’s stopped by a crunching Stephens tackle. But he springs up and goes again. This time he’s scythed down by Duffy, who is booked. A free kick in a dangerous, central position, 25 yards out.

54 min: Brighton are first to everything right now, though most of the game is being played out in the middle of the park. They’ve been impressive today, those costly (and admittedly rather important) first six minutes aside.

52 min: Christensen is back on. Brighton are on the front foot. Chelsea have not looked comfortable when dealing with crosses.

50 min: Brighton hit the post! Schelotto jinks down the right and whips a deliciously inviting cross into the Chelsea box. Propper throws himself at it, and guides a header towards the top right. Caballero is beaten all ends up, but the ball crashes off the upright and away from danger! So unlucky!

49 min: And there’s a stoppage as Duffy and Christensen require some treatment after clashing heads. The Chelsea man has come off worse; he looks pained and a little dazed. He ambles off the pitch though all signs suggest he’ll be waved back on soon.

47 min: A free kick for Brighton down the left and a chance to load the Chelsea box. Suttner curls it into the six-yard box. Duffy flings himself at the ball but only succeeds in clattering into Christensen. Free kick, he’s offside.

46 min: A loose pass from Duffy sets Chelsea on the attack again almost immediately. Hazard threatens to break down the middle. Then Moses has a look down the right. Nothing doing. But Brighton can’t afford to start the second half as slowly as they did the first.

And we’re off again! Brighton get the game restarted. No changes. The rain is still coming down.

Half-time listening: Lee Calvert, Gary Naylor and Rob Smyth reminiscing about Italia 90? What could you possibly be waiting for?!

Hazard dribbles into the area from the right, and jinks past Suttner. There’s the slightest contact, and Hazard goes down. It would have been a harsh decision, but then you’ve seen them given. The third penalty claim of the half! And all ignored. So a slightly strange half of football comes to an end. Chelsea flew out of the blocks, and could have added more goals to their total. Brighton will argue that they should have had at least one spot kick, while Cabellero made a stunning stop on the line from Hemed. Pretty fine entertainment, all in all. You’ll not want to miss the second half, in which anything could happen.

44 min: Then they suddenly break upfield through Willian, who shuttles the ball down the right for Batshuayi. The striker spins on the edge of the box and slashes a first-time effort towards the top left. It’s high and wide, but not so far off target.

43 min: Chelsea take the sting out of the game by stroking the ball around in the centre circle awhile.

41 min: Chelsea go very close to a third. Batshuayi has a dig from the edge of the D. It’s blocked, but the ball finds its way to Hazard on the left. Hazard enters the area and hits a cross-cum-shot that Moses can’t quite turn in at the far post.
