Mudryk on target as Chelsea beat Brighton 4-3

Mykhailo Mudryk finally found the net for Chelsea and new signings Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson also scored in a 4-3 friendly win over Brighton in Philadelphia on Saturday. Brighton took the lead in 13th minute when a short corner routine ended with Kaoru Mitoma heading the ball across the box and Danny Welbeck firing home with a first-time drive. French forward Nkunku, a recent acquisition from RB Leipzig for a reported o63 million ($80 million) brought the London club level in the 19th minute for his second goal of pre-season. Brighton were reduced to ten men in the 59th minute when Dutch full-back Jan Paul van Hecke received a second yellow card after a reckless challenge on Cesare Casadei.
