Chelsea secured a 3-2 victory against Fulham in Xabi Alonso's first competitive match as manager. The team's front three, featuring João Pedro, Cole Palmer, and Morgan Rogers, showcased strong attacking synergy, with Rogers scoring on his debut. Despite the win, concerns arose regarding Chelsea's defensive stability and goalkeeper performance, particularly from Robert Sánchez.
Xabi Alonso's debut highlighted Chelsea's attacking potential, but defensive frailties were evident. Watch for how he addresses goalkeeper concerns and integrates new signings like Moisés Caicedo. Fulham's resilience suggests they could challenge stronger teams this season.
