Palmer Scores and Assists as Chelsea Hold Off Fulham in 3-2 Opener
Cole Palmer scored once and set up João Pedro as Chelsea opened their Premier League campaign with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage. Chelsea struck early through João Pedro before Joshua King equalised for Fulham. Morgan Rogers restored Chelsea’s lead before half-time, and Palmer made it 3-1 shortly after the restart. Fulham pulled one back through Gonzalo García and pushed for a late equaliser. Chelsea, however, held firm through the closing stages to secure all three points. Palmer was substituted late on after appearing to pick up an injury, casting a slight shadow over an otherwise influential display.
