Key Events
Scott Crichton opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a composed header before adding a second early in the second half. Fulham’s misfortunes continued when Serginho turned the ball into his own net under pressure. Netanel Sahar then took over, first rifling a superb volley into the top corner from 19 meters before rounding off the rout with a clinical finish from close range in the 90th minute.
VAR played a small role in confirming the final goal, but the result was never in doubt as Chelsea completely nullified Fulham’s attacking threat, limiting them to a single off-target effort all game. Graham Wallace’s early injury further hampered Fulham, who never recovered from the loss of their keeper in the third minute.
Netanel Sahar Shines Again
The 23-year-old striker was in sensational form, netting a brace and proving too much for the Fulham backline to handle. His second goal – a perfectly timed volley into the top corner – was the standout moment of the match.
What’s Next?
Chelsea’s relentless charge continues as they extend their winning run to nine consecutive league matches. With 37 points from 13 games, Calin Dimario’s side remain top of the Premier Division and firmly on course to defend their title.
