The drama began even before the game had started. Chelsea announced Emi Martinez<\/a> on Sunday, but it was even more of a surprise to see the World Cup winner start in goal<\/a> for the Blues against The Seagulls.<\/p>\n

He might have conceded three goals on debut, but Chelsea got the win. Romeo Lavia, Pedro Neto, Joao Pedro<\/a> and Cole Palmer<\/a> got the goals as the Chelsea boss secured three points with just 26% possession.<\/p>\n

Emi Martinez believes Chelsea have three truly \u2018amazing\u2019 players<\/h2>\n

The former Aston Villa and Arsenal goalkeeper won\u2019t have been happy to concede three goals, but he will be delighted to get a win and feel the roar of the Stamford Bridge crowd for the first time, at full pelt.<\/p>\n

A whirlwind few days, resulting in the perfect way with a crucial win. Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Martinez shared why he joined Chelsea and believes the Blues have three truly \u2018amazing\u2019 players.<\/p>\n

He believes the front three of Morgan Rogers<\/a>, Palmer and Pedro are going to be pivotal for Chelsea this season. Indeed, many believe the attacking trio is currently the best the Premier League has to offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe front three is amazing. When we go forward, we can hurt teams. We had a lot of chances to finish the game. Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro had chances to kill it. But we need to bring the goals down.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Xabi Alonso said about the signing of Emi Martinez<\/h2>\n

It was a shock to see Martinez in the starting line-up, with Robert Sanchez set to leave<\/a> the club. The Spaniard has been told to find himself a new home following the \u00a37.5m addition of Martinez this week.<\/p>\n

It comes after his mistakes against Fulham. Alonso was believed to have decided on keeping Sanchez, but those mistakes proved costly. A week later, and he\u2019s being told to leave, with Martinez in the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very happy with Emi and we are delighted to have him here at Chelsea,\u201d Alonso said of Martinez ahead of his debut. \u201cTo have such a goalkeeper of this stature, of this personality, it\u2019s very good for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that he will bring lots of qualities, and I\u2019m sure that he can have a straight impact, and that\u2019s why we decided that he\u2019s ready to play straightaway,\u201d the Chelsea gaffer continued, on starting Martinez.<\/p>\n

Alonso is not the only one delighted to have Martinez in Chelsea blue. Prior to the game, John Terry declared himself delighted at the signing of Martinez,<\/a> describing the Argentine as a \u201cworld-class\u201d player.<\/p>\n
