Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer expressed his delight after the club further strengthened their position for a possible spot in the Europan football following their 2-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Palmer featured on the scoresheet as he broke the stalemate in the 34th minute of the game following Marc Cucurella's cross. Christopher Nkunku came off the bench to replace Mykhailo Mudryk and doubled Chelsea's lead with a clinical finish.
