Second-half goals from Jorginho with a penalty and Willian's deflected shot earned Frank Lampard's Chelsea a 2-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, their first home Premier League win of the season, Reuters reported. Jorginho slotted the penalty into the bottom corner after Brighton defender Adam Webster had miscontrolled the ball and brought down Mason Mount as the young Chelsea midfielder rushed in to take advantage. Willian fired home after a crossfield ball from substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi in the 76th minute. Goalkeeper Mat Ryan, who had held Chelsea at bay for most of the game, was wrongfooted by a deflection off Dan Burn. Much has been made of Lampard's use of young players in what has been described as a transitional season for the London side. But the former long-serving Chelsea midfielder said his youngsters also needed to learn from the attitude of seasoned players such as Brazilian-born Italian Jorginho and Brazilian Willian. Chelsea had 17 attempts on goal in the first half alone but were unable to turn their pressure and high tempo possession into goals. Mount hit the post from a free kick and Ryan made two fine close-in saves from Ross Barkley and Pedro. Willian, Marcos Alonso and Tammy Abraham also fired wide from good positions. The result lifted Chelsea, who lost at home to Liverpool last week after drawing Stamford Bridge games against Leicester City and Sheffield United, to sixth in the Premier League.
