The Seagulls played host to old boss Graham Potter in something of a grudge match, with the new Chelsea manager booed and jeered by his one-time supporters – who even chanted that he was ‘getting sacked in the morning’ as the goals flew in.
Leandro Trossard put the hosts ahead after just five minutes before two own goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevoh Chalobah meant Brighton went into half-time with a three-goal lead.
Kai Havertz netted shortly after the restart, but Brighton gave a solid rearguard display before Pascal Gross added more gloss to the scoreline in stoppage time.
