In the 3rd round of the English League Cup on Wednesday, Chelsea beat Brighton (1-0), Liverpool overthrew Leicester (3-1) and Arsenal defeated Brentford (0-1).
Chelsea found the net once morest Brighton (1-0), a first following three matches without scoring, and offered the Stamford Bridge crowd a victory they had been waiting for for a month now.
This does not change anything in his uncomfortable situation in the championship, a rather embarrassing fourteenth place following six days, but it eases a little the growing tension among the “Blues” of Mauricio Pochettino.
The Argentine coach repeats that his team, young and remodeled this summer, needs time to gain strength. Recruits Cole Palmer (21 years old) and Nicolas Jackson (22 years old), passer and scorer, gave credibility to the leader’s speech.

As often since the start of the season, it was a reactionary Liverpool who won at Anfield once morest a Leicester team (3-1) who stole it from the start, with a goal scored following just three minutes .
The ultra-revamped team put in place by Jürgen Klopp managed to turn around the Foxes, current leaders of the second division, thanks to three goals in the second half.
Arsenal had less difficulty getting rid of Brentford (1-0) since their young winger Reiss Nelson, starting in the absence of Leandro Trossart and Gabriel Martinelli, injured, took only eight minutes to score his first goal of the season.
The Gunners thus extend their successful start to the season, marked by victory in the Community Shield, a convincing invincibility in the league (two draws and four victories) and a perfect start in the Champions League once morest PSV Eindhoven (4-0), while waiting to go to Lens on Tuesday.
In other matches, the Premier League representatives enforced their ranks: once morest second division clubs, Bournemouth beat Stoke (2-0) and Fulham dismissed Norwich (2-1), while West Ham dominated Lincoln City (D3) narrowly, 1-0.
