(VIDEO) Watch Romelu Lukaku Sensational Header Put Blues Ahead against Brighton!

It was far from pretty for Chelsea, and hasn’t come without cost, but Chelsea leads at Stamford Bridge at the halftime break behind yet another goal from attacking hero Romelu Lukaku.

Hosting Brighton, who has never beaten Chelsea and never even scored a goal at Stamford Bridge, the Blues could move second in the Premier League table with a win or draw, although they’ll know the latter would still be a disappointing result.

Chelsea’s injury troubles have not eased, however, as Reece James was withdrawn with an ankle or knee injury and Andreas Christensen appeared to be struggling as well, although he to this point has continued. In addition, the midfield has been a rotating door of players, with Jorginho looking worn from overuse and Mateo Kovacic only just back from a long injury layoff

Brighton has been spry, but the sporatic charging forward has yet to yield a result, with Antonio Rudiger standing tall and Edouard Mendy completing the tasks asked of him to this point

One great corner delivered by Mason Mount in Brighton’s penalty box, and Chelsea take the lead thanks to Romelu Lukaku! The big Belgian leaps highest, easily beating all opposition for a powerful header to make it 1-0 to the hosts at the Bridge

Chelsea have taken the lead against Brighton in the Premier League this evening through centre-forward Romelu Lukaku.
