Blues got three points at home against BrightonTheir only win in last three league matchesKeys thinks their celebrations were excessiveWHAT HAPPENED?
Chelsea got back to winning ways in a chaotic game against the Seagulls at Stamford Bridge, despite having Conor Gallagher sent off in the first half and conceding a last minute penalty. The Blues players were full of joy after the final whistle, but ex-Sky Sports presenter Keys felt their celebrations were excessive.

Keys said on : "I hesitate to refer back to my comments on when Arsenal beat Fulham last year, but it is just Brighton. It's looking like a Champions League celebration… and it's also feisty."
When Andy Gray insisted it was a big result for Chelsea, Keys responded: "Is it?"
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Chelsea will be delighted with the three points after playing out a 4-4 draw with Manchester City and then a 4-1 defeat against Newcastle in their previous two matches. The celebrations likely stem from it incredibly being just the Blues' fourth win at Stamford Bridge this calendar year. The result leaves them 10th in the Premier League table and 10 points adrift of the top four.
