Chelsea claimed their first home win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Fulham, thanks to goals from Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernandez.
Chelsea secured their first home win of the season with a 2-0 triumph over Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The visitors thought they had taken the lead in the 20th minute through Joshua King, but VAR ruled the goal out for a foul in the buildup. Chelsea grew into the game and broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time when Joao Pedro headed home Enzo Fernandez’s corner.
Fulham’s hopes faded after the break when Trevoh Chalobah’s cross struck Ryan Sessegnon’s arm. Following a VAR review, referee Robert Jones awarded a penalty, which Fernandez converted to double Chelsea’s advantage.
Despite Fulham’s late pressure, the Blues held firm, with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez making key saves. The win moves Chelsea to seven points from three games and ends their wait for a home victory this season.
Chelsea now shift focus to Brentford after the international break.
