Chelsea defeated Fulham 2-1 on Sunday afternoon, securing their second victory in the Premier League this season. The match was played at Stamford Bridge, home to Chelsea, and saw both teams battle it out for the full ninety minutes.
The match began with both sides showing their attacking intent, with Chelsea creating several chances but failing to convert them into goals. However, Fulham's defensive solidity proved to be their undoing as they conceded two goals in the first half.
The first goal came early in the second half when a cross from the right by Chelsea's Christian Pulisic found Timo Werner, who slotted the ball past the goalkeeper. The second goal came just five minutes later when a cross from the left by Jorginho found Mateo Kovacic, who finished it with his head to make it 2-0.
Fulham tried to mount a comeback in the latter stages of the game, with a header from Ryan Sessegnon missing the target and a shot from Aleksandar Mitrovic that was saved by Edouard Mendy. However, Chelsea's defense held firm, and the victory ensured that they remain in the top four of the league table.
The win was a testament to Chelsea's consistency in recent weeks, with the team having won all three of their last matches. They have now scored six goals in their last three games, with Mason Mount and Reece James leading the way with two goals each.
Overall, it was a hard-fought victory for Chelsea, which will no doubt boost their confidence going forward. With their next match coming up against Crystal Palace, they will look to build on this result and continue their upward trajectory in the Premier League.
