Man of the Match
The prestigious SunSport man of the match award tonight goes to Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
He set the tempo for the team, and was as hard working as ever, really proving why he deserves to wear that captains armband in the absence of Reece James and Ben Chilwell.
Armando Broja would have been in with a shout, and would have Mykhailo Mudryk, but they were both limited in terms of minutes due to suspected injury issues.

Full-time match stats
Here are the match stats at full time.
Chelsea were dominant in the first half, but allowed Fulham a way back into the game in the second half as the home side created some chances.
Nonetheless, Chelsea never really looked too uncomfortable in this one, and walk away deserving winners.

John Terry has his say…
Captain, Leader, Legend.
A win against Fulham means as much to John Terry as it ever did, as he celebrated the Blues’ win on X (Formerly Twitter).
“One team in Fulham… CHELSEA!”

Chelsea win the London derby!
A fantastic showing from Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea means that the Blues have got their second win of the Premier League season under their belt.
Two first half goals came like London buses, you wait ages for one and then two come inside a minute!
Those goals were courtesy of Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja, the former getting his first goal for the club since his big money move in the summer.
Slightly worrying signs on the injury front for Chelsea however, as Mudryk, Caicedo and Broja all seemingly left the pitch carrying knocks…

FT. After a quick cameo from Noni Madueke and Alex Matos’ Premier League debut that is all she wrote here at Craven Cottage.
It ends 2-0 to the visitors thanks to two first half goals from Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja, and that is a win that Mauricio Pochettino will be pleased with!
