Chelsea launched this 3rd day of the Premier League with the reception of Fulham. Curse of the match at 1:30 p.m. or not, the winner of the Club World Cup has long stammered his football in the face of a team that crashed his chance. Josh King even thought of opening the scoring after a flash, refused by the referee after video. This decision, just as logical as it is severe, had the gift of making Marco Silva and his cottages of their match come out.
Without Cole Palmer, injured, but with a quartet of attack led by Estevao, Joao Pedro, Neto and Delap, who touched in the thigh quickly gave way to the young George, Chelsea made the difference on set kicks. First on a beautiful head of Joao Pedro before the break after a corner of Fernandez (1-0, 45th+9). Just after the break, it was a penalty transformed by the Argentinian captain world champion (2-0, 56th) which allowed the blues to beat their neighbor, under the eye of the future recruit Alejandro Garnacho. They take the lead in the Premier League while waiting for the other weekend games.
