It’s full time at Craven Cottage, and we’ve just seen the Blues run out 3-2 winners in a thrilling game.
It all started so well – Joao Pedro clipped in a superb finish from a Cole Palmer assist. But as so often, it was Robert Sanchez who got his team in trouble. His gaffe gave Fulham an equaliser and lots of momentum.
Fortunately, Palmer was on hand to produce another super moment, this time setting up new signing Maxence Lacroix to cross for Morgan Rogers to score.
Chelsea’s exciting front three look full of promise
After the break it was Palmer’s turn to score, firing one through the keeper’s legs. Fulham pulled one back thanks to another Sanchez blunder. It wasn’t enough however, and the Blues could have added more.
Cole Palmer was sensational throughout, and we saw a number of promising debuts from new signings. Things are looking very positive right now, with Sanchez the only dark cloud in the sky.
