At a vibrant Stamford Bridge, Chelsea made a lightning-fast start against Sunderland, slicing through the visitor's defense to seize an early advantage. In a moment of swift combination, Pedro Neto provided the crucial pass for Alejandro Garnacho, who, with a decisive finish, etched his name onto the scoresheet for the Blues for the very first time.

The Argentine winger's long-awaited maiden goal for the club arrived in his seventh appearance, breaking a personal drought that stretched back to his time at Manchester United, with his last league strike dating to the fourth of May against Brentford.

This significant strike also served to highlight a key tactical strength emerging within Chelsea's squad. By finding the net, Garnacho became the tenth distinct player to score for the club in the Premier League this season, a remarkable statistic that underscores their diversified attacking threat. This achievement sees them drawing level with their London rivals, Arsenal, who have similarly shared the goalscoring burden across ten different individuals this campaign.
