  4. 'Chelsea were ruthless'

    FT: Brighton 0-4 Chelsea

    Sue Smith

    Former England forward on the BBC Red Button

    People will look at this scoreline and say 'Chelsea completely dominated the game' but it was only in the last 25 minutes that their quality shone through.

    Chelsea are ruthless and when they see an opportunity, they take it.

    They were clinical in front of goal and Brighton weren't. Brighton will reflect on the game and say they matched Chelsea for a long time.

    Chelsea were superb late on, and that is the Chelsea that we know and love to watch.
