Chelsea defeated south-west London rivals Fulham 2-0 at Craven Cottage to snap a three-game Premier League goalless streak.
Three Premier League games have passed with no goals scored by Chelsea. The London club is in the bottom half of the standings, indicating that Pochettino and his team’s performance has declined to a concerning degree.
Still, Chelsea’s comeback seemed to be gaining momentum as they won their second straight game across all categories. Chelsea defeated Brighton 1-0 in the League Cup round 3 in the middle of last week, and they are currently leading the Premier League round 7 with a 2-0 victory against Fulham.
The first whistle was followed by an attacking game by Chelsea. Colwill transferred the ball from the left to Mydryk in the center in the eighteenth minute. To score the game’s first goal, the Ukrainian player first caught the ball with his chest before putting it between the legs of the Fulham goalkeeper. The striker from Ukraine has not scored a goal since joining Chelsea in January of this year.
Chelsea had more opportunities to score in the second half, but all they could manage was to strike the ball against the woodwork and occasionally shock the supporters of their home club. A 2-0 victory, nevertheless, was plenty to appease Blues supporters.
Fulham gave up the second goal just one minute after giving up the first. The hesitant defense of the home team gave Chelsea’s players freedom of movement. After Broja made his getaway, the opposing team’s defender broke the ball, struck his foot, and struck the net, scoring a goal to make the score 2-0.
Chelsea’s eight points from the seventh-round match enabled them to move up to eleventh place in the rankings, exactly behind Manchester United. Even though the ranking is still below expectations, Chelsea will undoubtedly feel more confident finishing in games going forward after 285 minutes without a victory.
