Chelsea is still in the hard battle to finish in the top four of the Premier League table.
Indeed, during the Cardiff game, Chelsea’s away support were chanting for Maurizio Sarri’s head.
On Wednesday at Stamford Bridge the Blues were far more impressive against Brighton.
Olivier Giroud opened, Eden Hazard scored the second, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek cracked in a sweet third.
Chelsea are fifth in the table on 63 points.
The big talking point at Stamford Bridge was a first Premier League start for England international Callum Hudson-Odoi.
The 18-year-old winger started the match on the right hand side.
Hudson-Odoi marked his maiden start in the league by setting up Giroud for the opener.
Hudson-Odoi fizzed in a low cross, which Giroud converted at the near post.
However in his post match presser, Maurizio Sarri criticised Callum Hudson-Odoi
Sarri claimed that the youngster “missed a very easy goal in the first half”
The Italian also warned Hudson-Odoi that he “needs to keep his feet on the ground”.
However, according to statistics, Odoi made a good show in the said match against Brighton.
