LONDON (Reuters) – Spain's Pedro and Robin Loftus-Chek have scored two goals in each half and won Sunday's 2-0 triumph over rivals Fulham.
Nghulo Kanti lifted the ball from Jean-Michel Seri in the middle of the pitch in the fourth minute and sent a great pbad to Pedro, who came into the box and shot a low ball with his left foot into the goal.
Chelsea resisted until the end of the first half but could not strengthen his lead. Fulham, who won his first win under former Chelsea coach Claudio Ranieri, regained confidence in the second half.
Fulham had several serious chances to pbad through Kalom Chambers, who had forced Chelsea goalkeeper Kiba Arizabalaga to face two attempts.
Despite Fulham 's equal attempts, Eden Hazard scored the second goal with a pbad to replace Luftus – Cech in the 82nd minute, allowing the English international to score.
Chelsea finished third, one point ahead of Arsenal and Tottenham, who won their first win in London last week. Arsenal won 4-2 in Tottenham, at the top of London.
"Today, we were a little worried," said Maurizio Sari, director of Chelsea. It was not an easy period after Tottenham for me and the players. It was important to show the reaction. The players only thought about the result. "
Sari has left striker Alvaro Morata on the bench and does not seem to be a problem after Pedro scored early and is Chelsea's 1,000th home goal in the Premier League.
But against the weakest line of defense, Chelsea took a decisive opportunity and advanced 2-0.
Fulham's resistance ended late when Loftus-Chek scored a goal in his 50th Premier League game.
"We needed the second goal," said Loftus-Chek.
The second goal killed the hope of Fulham's return, but Ranieri will take on some positive aspects of his second game of the team.
"We made good decisions in a short time, we had chances to draw, but the opponent scored the second goal, Chelsea has some incredible players and a stunning record, and I'm happy with the performance. and not the result. "(Reuters)
