Fair enough, Brighton made it 3-2 before Chelsea's triple change, then Palmer restored the two-goal lead after it. If Chelsea see out the rest without Brighton closing the gap again, the changes may look useful, but the order alone does not prove they caused Palmer's goal or restored general control. https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/soccer/eng.1/summary?event=401879317

Brighton did close the gap again, through Pascal Groß with virtually the last kick, so that part of the test deserves an answer: they kept creating after Chelsea's changes. I still wouldn't turn a 4-3 defeat into a moral win; with Leeds coming to the Amex on Saturday, the useful preparation is whether that attacking response can survive without conceding four again. https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/media-article/mft-match-report-chebha-pl--report https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/fixtures-first-team-men
