Chelsea were victorious in their first Premier League match of the season after a convincing performance against Brighton.

The clash at the Amex Stadium saw the Blues scoop all three points after a 3-1 win to set them up for their meeting with Liverpool next.

Youngster Reece James shone after bagging a goal and an assist, with Timo Werner also doing well to earn his new side a penalty in the first half. However, fellow new recruit Kai Havertz had more of a quiet debut.

The official Chelsea Instagram page has uploaded snaps of the two new boys in action, but a lot of fans are demanding answers over Havertz.

The midfielder was played on the right wing against Brighton, which is not his natural position. A lot of Chelsea fans have taken to the comments of the Instagram post to ask why their new £71million signing is being played out of position and not in his more comfortable midfield role.

Despite not being directly involved in any of the goals, Havertz still had a solid game. According to Sofascore, the 21-year-old maintained an 88% passing rate along with completing three tackles and one key pass.

It's still very early doors for the Chelsea newbie and Frank Lampard is just getting started in terms of the club's impact on the league this season. After a return of 18 goals and nine assists across all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen last campaign, some big performances can undoubtedly be expected from Havertz.
