I think Chelsea was really lucky to win the game because it wasn't expected that they will be able to win the game based on how they have been performing. I was expecting the game to end in draws but Fulham didn't play well like the way I expected. If Fulham team had performed well I don't think it will be easy for Chelsea to win the game . Chelsea still have hope to meet up top four position if they can start performing better in their games.
After all, Chelsea didn't win the match against Fulham easily, right?
Fulham, who played with an attacking approach, was basically able to pose a threat to Chelsea's defense. But because of their lack of good finishing and the good way Chelsea defended, Chelsea was able to maintain a 1-0 lead until the match ended.
I didn't see Chelsea playing at their best, but they appeared to be full of pressure even though Fulham were far behind them. This is Fulham's 4th defeat in their last 5 matches in the Premier League, and this is Chelsea's 3rd win in a row in their last 5 matches in the Premier League. Pochettino has managed to make several changes for Chelsea in his last few matches, but it is true that Chelsea are still not ready to compete at the top this season.
I think the main reason why Chelsea's form is unstable is because the players are injured too much. The situation has improved recently, but Chelsea still needs more essential pillars. Meeting Fulham is an excellent opportunity for Chelsea to maintain their winning streak and continue to advance in the rankings. As for Fulham, they showed an annoying defensive counter-attacking style, always making the most of counter-attack situations. I thought the first half would end in a draw, but the home team suddenly had the advantage when Raheem Sterling fell in the penalty area and was awarded a penalty. Cole Palmer took the opportunity to open the score before the first half ended. Thus, for the first time this season, Chelsea won 3 consecutive matches in the Premier League. Previously, the Blues defeated Crystal Palace and Luton.
