Chelsea Start Alonso Era with Exciting 3-2 Win at Fulham
- On Monday, Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso began his tenure with a 3-2 victory against West London neighbors Fulham at Craven Cottage, with Joao Pedro, Morgan Rogers, and Cole Palmer all scoring.
- Joao Pedro ignited the match with a goal after just 31 seconds, setting the tone for an attacking display as Cole Palmer added a second-half strike after being fed by Pedro.
- Record signing Morgan Rogers justified his £117 million transfer fee by scoring in the 41st minute, part of Chelsea's around £350 million summer investment to overhaul the squad.
- Defensive vulnerabilities persisted as goalkeeper Robert Sanchez fumbled a Josh King equalizer in the 24th minute and failed to stop a header from debutant Gonzalo Garcia in the 54th.
- Midfielder Enzo Fernandez faced loud boos from home fans upon entering as a substitute midway through the second half, signaling ongoing tension regarding the player's presence at the club.
