After the first round of the Premier League was tied by Crystal Palace, Chelsea suddenly made a strong move in the second round, scoring 5 goals in a row to reverse West Ham, successfully winning the first victory of the season. After a week of rest, Chelsea went to the third round of the Premier League, and its opponent was still from Fulham, London. Joao Pedro opened the first record, Enzo scored a goal to expand his advantage, Chelsea won the London derby again, surpassing Arsenal and Liverpool in the standings.

Fulham tied Brighton before the end of the final round and tied Manchester United in the last round; including the third round of the League Cup, the farmers were unbeaten in the first three games. Due to muscle fatigue, Palmer continued to miss, with Neto, Joao Pedro, Estewan and Drapp forming the frontcourt offensive line; Kesedo and Enzo having double midfielders; Gusto, Chaloba Jr., Aldabioyu and Cucurella lined up on the defense line; Sanchez stood in front of the goal.

Only 10 minutes of the game started, Chelsea encountered the injury problem again. Drapp wounded the back of his thigh while receiving the ball in a running position. He was unable to hold on to the game and was forced to be replaced by George. In the 21st minute, the handsome Marseille spinning near the center circle of Munis got rid of Charoba Jr. Berg followed up with a diagonal pass, and 18-year-old Josh King went to the club to enter the net alone. However, when Munis got rid of defense, he just stepped on Charoba Jr. The referee scored an invalid goal after watching VAR.

In the 30th minute, Sesenion made a cross from the left, Munis scored a shot in front of the goal, and Sanchez blocked the ball with his instinctive reaction; the scene in the first half was dull, but before the end of the half, the situation quickly reversed. First, Lukic made a straight pass from the front of the penalty area, Josh-King knocked back in the inverted triangle, Castagne, who was unmarked, received the ball and shot, and Kesedo suddenly broke out on the side to resolve the danger. Chelsea then got a corner kick opportunity, Enzo hangs the ball into the penalty area, and Joao Pedro heads to break the deadlock, 1:0! Joao Pedro scored consecutive goals, including the goals in the Club World Cup, and he scored 5 goals and 2 assists for the Blues in 6 games.

In the 55th minute of the second half, a controversial penalty appeared on the court. Chaloba Jr. made a cross and hit the defensive Sesenion's raised arm. However, before that, Kesedo had already stepped on Ivobi, but the referee awarded a penalty after watching the replay. Enzo scored a penalty, 2:0! In the first half, the goal was invalid due to a foul on the stomp. Now the opponent is given a penalty kick again. Fulham coach Marco Silva can only smile bitterly and helplessly off the court.

In the 58th minute, Joao Pedro organized a counterattack and made a straight pass. Estewan cut in one hand and shot in a low shot, but Leno fell to the ground and saved it; in the 61st minute, Chaloba Jr. made a precise long pass in the backcourt, Pedro counter-offside and received the ball to form a single shot, Leno decisively abandoned the goal and resolved the danger. It seems that he was affected by two controversial penalties, Fulham's morale was obviously affected, and the offense was unable to start the situation for a long time; Maresca also decisively made substitution adjustments, and Reese James, Gittens and Santos all came on as substitutes.

In the end, Chelsea kept the score 2:0 until the end of the game, overtaking Liverpool and Arsenal in one more game to top the Premier League, while the Reds and the Gunners will face each other directly in this round; no matter what the result is, the Blues are the beneficiary.
