Football/First League: Chelsea-Fulham (2-0)
Chelsea is better. A few days after his victory against Brighton in the Carabao Cup, the London club signed a second consecutive success all competitions combined on the lawn of Fulham. The decision was made within a minute as Mykhaïlo Mudryk (18′) and Armando Broja (19′) scored both goals in the space of a minute.
This is simply the first goal of the Ukrainian under the colors of the Blues since his arrival last winter. The Albanian, who has just returned from a long injury, found the net for the first time in 359 days. Chelsea now has eight points and moves up to 11th. Fulham is thirteenth with the same number of points. Mauricio Pochettino’s men scored their first championship victory since August 25 against Luton Town (3-0).
While the Blues were heading for a great victory, bad news came to tarnish this success so important. In the extra time, Moises Caicedo and Willian remained on the ground after a knee-to-knee contact at the entrance of the visitors’ area.
The Ecuadorian, who continued to limp, finally had to give up his place to Noni Madueke (90th+6). Despite this small concern, Chelsea is getting a breath of fresh air with these three points. Mauricio Pochettino’s players return to 11th place in the Premier League.
A favorable result that could act as a trigger for the Londoners as they move to Burnley before receiving Arsenal in the next two days of the English championship.
