Chelsea continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a 2-0 win over Fulham at Stamford Bridge. The victory not only extended their fine run to just one defeat in their last 12 league games but also temporarily pushed them to the summit of the table. For Kenyan fans who follow English football religiously, this was yet another reminder of Chelsea’s growing resilience under Enzo Maresca.
A Tale of Two Halves
The first half belonged more to Fulham than the hosts. Chelsea were rocked early when Liam Delap picked up a hamstring injury, forcing an early change in their attacking approach. Fulham even thought they had snatched the lead through 18-year-old Josh King, only for VAR to controversially rule the goal out due to a foul in the build-up.
Just when Chelsea looked short of ideas, João Pedro rose highest from an Enzo Fernández corner to head home. It was a much-needed breakthrough that settled the Stamford Bridge issue.
VAR Drama Strikes Again
The second half mirrored the first in terms of drama—a handball by Ryan Sessegnon after a Trevoh Chalobah cross brought Chelsea a penalty. Fernández coolly slotted from 12 yards, doubling the lead and all but ending Fulham’s resistance.
From then on, it was about game management for the Blues. João Pedro could have added more gloss to the scoreline, but Bernd Leno stood tall to deny him.
Transfer Market Buzz
Beyond the match, Chelsea remained the center of attention in the transfer market. Christopher Nkunku has already joined AC Milan, while Nicolas Jackson edges closer to a loan move to Bayern Munich. In the stands, Alejandro Garnacho — their imminent signing — watched his future teammates grind out a result.
For Kenyan Chelsea fans, the constant reshuffling may feel chaotic, but it signals the club’s intent to rebuild a squad that can compete on all fronts.
What This Means
Chelsea’s win keeps their confidence soaring and ensures momentum heading into tougher fixtures. For Fulham, it’s frustration after being denied key moments by VAR. For neutral fans across Kenya, the match was a reminder of the acceptable margins that define the Premier League.
