This success will do good for Mauricio Pochettino’s team. Without a victory in their last three matches, the Blues found their way to victory against Fulham (2-0) on Monday evening.
It’s difficult to speak of a seminal performance for the London team, as the opposition seemed weak at Craven Cottage. But it brings a little serenity to the Argentine coach and a renewed confidence to his Blues, whose quest for success had until then been thwarted by almost sickly inefficiency.
This victory is symbolized by Mykhailo Mudryk’s first goal in the colors of Chelsea, nine months after his arrival for 100 million euros. The Ukrainian striker opened the scoring in the 18th minute of play before his teammate Armando Broja doubled the lead 82 seconds later (20th). The former Shakhtar striker’s first achievement comes on the evening of his 21st appearance with Chelsea in the Premier League.
After seven days, Chelsea are eleventh in the championship with eight points, the same total as Nottingham Forest and Fulham who are close behind in the standings.
