A 1-0 win over Fulham at Stamford Bridge gave Chelsea the West London derby bragging rights. Cole Palmer scored the only goal in the game.
The home team got out to a quick start, and Armando Broja sent an early drive wide. In the last few seconds of the first half, Palmer scored a penalty after Raheem Sterling’s beautiful pass led to a goal. Fulham got better and Harry Wilson came close.
Then Sterling Һit the post with a free header, and Palmer set up a string of chances for the home team to score a second goal in the second half.
When Fulham came back, Raul Jimenez had a low shot that was stopped, but The Cottagers couldn’t score to tie the game.
Chelsea now has three straight wins in the league, moving them up to eighth place before the rest of the games this weekend.
Fulham is 13th in the league after losing their last five away games in a row.
Next, on Tuesday, January 23, Chelsea will host Middlesbrough for the second game of their League Cup semi-final. In the same league, Fulham plays Liverpool at home in 24 hours.
