Chelsea enjoyed a comfortable 4-0 win at Brighton in the early kickoff.
Willian's fine finish which featured intricate back-heeled flicks from Eden Hazard and Michy Batshuayi in the build-up came after just six minutes, hot on the heels of Hazard's third-minute opener which immediately put the hosts on the back foot.
To their credit Brighton did give as good as they got before and soon after half-time, but Belgian playmaker Hazard put the seal on a Man of the Match performance when adding his second in the 77th minute and Victor Moses rounded off the scoring at the end of normal time.
"A good game and a good result for us," Conte said. "In the last period we didn't score a lot, and instead today we scored four goals and created other chances to improve the final result.
"We kept another clean sheet which is very important for us, despite Brighton creating chances to score.
"Before the game, a lot of people had a lot of worry about our suspensions and injuries. Instead during the game, we showed great personality to be a team.
"We started the game very well, we scored twice quickly with good combinations between our strikers. We must be happy for this.
"At the same time, from tomorrow, every single player who scored today has to forget about that, and try to score again against Arsenal. This is the most important thing: to be happy for today's performance, but from tomorrow to start to think about another important game."
