Chelsea player says Blues were not at their best despite smashing four past Brighton

One Chelsea player has claimed that his side were not completely at their best against Brighton on Saturday afternoon despite winning the tie 4-2!

Scoring four goals against Brighton is no easy task, especially as The Seagulls were coming into this fixture unbeaten so far in the league this season.

Chelsea did concede two goals themselves and even went a goal down early on, but it didn’t take them long to get back into it and then take the lead, with the game pretty much buried by half time. Chelsea looked dangerous every time they counter attacked Brighton, and they could have and should have actually scored more.

But Levi Colwill’s standards are high, as they should be, and he didn’t think this was the very best version of Chelsea.

Colwill thinks Chelsea can be even better

‘It was a really good result [against Brighton] and a really strong team performance,’ Levi acknowledged at the final whistle as picked up by the Chelsea website. ‘I think last season, this game would have been a lot different.

‘I wouldn’t say we were completely at our best, we know we can still improve, but we got a big three points and hopefully we can maintain this momentum and keep building in the right direction under the gaffer.

‘At times it really clicked for us and when we do play our best football, we look very dangerous. We’ve also got that extra spark in us to win games through sheer talent, which showed with how Cole performed.’
