Chelsea won their second league game of the season thanks to Mykhailo Mudryk’s first goal for the club and a strike from Armando Broja.
Mudryk has had a tumultuous experience at Chelsea since joining for £89 million from Shakhtar Donetsk in January, but his first-half performance seemed to be a turning point in his Chelsea career.
The Ukrainian gave the visitors the lead in the 18th minute, controlling Levi Colwill’s chipped cross with his chest before scoring under Bernd Leno – however his half-time exit will worry the visitors.
Chelsea climbed up to 11th in the Premier League as Broja doubled their advantage a minute later, his first goal since October 2022 following a major knee injury.
Fulham created little chances, with Sasa Lukic’s attempt from inside the six-yard box being comfortably saved by Robert Sanchez in the second half.
