There were two late matches of the 34th day of the Premier League this evening. While waiting for the end of the clash between Manchester United and Newcastle, Chelsea traveled to Brighton to hope to grab fifth place, coming back three lengths from Tottenham. And Mauricio Pochettino’s men fulfilled their mission.
Cole Palmer opened the scoring in the 34th minute, before Frenchman Christopher Nkunku scored the break goal in the 64th. A deliverance for the former Parisian who is returning from injury and who had not scored since January 31. Winners of the Seagulls 2-1, the Blues have a fourth consecutive success and climb to sixth place in the standings before the last match of the season at home against Bournemouth.
