It may have only been one night, but there were positive signs for Chelsea under former Tottenham manager Pochettino. The team’s young side showed identity and resilience in their win against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Mudryk, who has faced criticism since his £88m transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk, scored his first goal for Chelsea, finally breaking his goal-less streak in the Premier League. Pochettino’s faith in Mudryk paid off, and his display of patience and trust will be crucial for the club’s success.
Mudryk’s difficult start can be attributed to wider issues at the club, including a bloated squad and a cramped dressing room. Pochettino’s arrival at the right time for Mudryk, as he has a proven record of developing young players. Despite Mudryk’s raw and untamed bursts of speed, there are moments of brilliance that show his potential.
In the match against Fulham, Mudryk started off erratic but eventually found his touch and scored with a sharp finish. This goal ended Chelsea’s goal drought and gave them their first Premier League win since August. A stroke of luck led to Broja scoring the second goal after a mistake from Fulham captain Tim Ream. Chelsea’s luck seemed to be turning around after a period of missed chances.
Apart from Mudryk, Cole Palmer also stood out in his first Premier League start for Chelsea. His deft touches and clever passes contributed to the team’s success. In midfield, Fernandez and Gallagher played well in front of record signing Caicedo, dominating Fulham’s midfield trio.
On the other hand, Fulham failed to meet expectations and were lacking in attack while also being vulnerable defensively. They only threatened Chelsea’s defense in the second half when substitute Carlos Vinicius had a chance. Chelsea had their own opportunities to extend their lead, but were denied by the post and Fulham goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
Overall, it was an important win for Chelsea after a difficult start to the season. Pochettino’s team showed promise, and with time and patience, they have the potential to achieve their goals.
