Chelsea’s new manager Xabi Alonso delivered a fiery debut as his squad dazzled with attacking flair, led by João Pedro, Cole Palmer, and Morgan Rogers—plus surprise assist from rookie center-back Maxence Lacroix. Despite missing key midfielder Moisés Caicedo and adjusting for Marco Palestra’s knock, young talents like Roméo Lavia stepped up. The match was a rollercoaster: Palmer’s lightning strike gave Chelsea the lead, but Fulham’s Josh King equalized, and Sánchez’s shaky moments let in another goal. Chelsea regained control with Rogers’ finish and Palmer’s second, only to see Fulham claw back again after a defensive lapse. Enzo Fernández’s controversial return drew boos, hinting at uncertainty ahead. A win, yes—but Alonso’s team needs sharper defense to truly thrive.
