The two London teams, led by Alvaro Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid’s two coaches last season, put on quite a battle, ultimately won by Chelsea!

The Blues won this derby 3-2 thanks to goals from João Pedro (1'), Morgan Rogers (41') and Cole Palmer (49'). Joshua King (23') and Gonzalo Garcia (54') scored for Fulham.

Also worth noting was Maxence Lacroix’s excellent performance on his official debut for Chelsea.
