The game started at a frantic pace, with Brazilian forward Joao Pedro giving Chelsea the lead after just 32 seconds, catching the Fulham defense cold. However, the hosts refused to lie down and found an equalizer midway through the first half through Josh King. Chelsea regained control when Cole Palmer, who was undoubtedly one of the outstanding performers on the night, produced a moment of individual brilliance. Running onto a Pedro pass, Palmer fired home from a remarkably tight angle with 49 minutes on the clock.
