Chelsea beat Fulham 2-0 as the Lilywhites have a goal ruled out controversially after Rodrigo Muniz's accidental challenge on Trevoh Chalobah in the build-up.

In their 2-0 win over Fulham, Chelsea played just as you would expect a team to when they have barely had time off between the end of 2024-25 and the start of 2025-26. Their high line was punctured with alarming regularity by Josh King and challenges that they might have dominated this time a year ago saw them bounce off white shirts.
