Brighton 1
Chelsea 2
Pochettino's side now find themselves within touching distance of securing some kind of European football for next season, with there even being a possibility of beating Tottenham to fifth spot if they can claim victory in their final match of the season against Bournemouth on Sunday.
It has been a remarkable turnaround since the record 5-0 thrashing at Arsenal a few weeks ago, with Palmer and Nkunku who celebrated his goal on only his 11th league appearance after joining for £52m in the summer by blowing up a blue balloon - giving a tantalising glimpse of what this team might someday be capable of as Roberto De Zerbi's side were well beaten despite Danny Welbeck's late consolation. The only negative for Pochettino was the dismissal of James 20 minutes after he had come off the bench when he kicked out at João Pedro and the incident was spotted by VAR.
Brighton's hopes of reaching Europe again this season may have long since faded but there was still plenty riding on this for their fans, who heartily booed the names of Marc Cucurella and Moisés Caicedo whenever they touched the ball.
