Chelsea FC secured their first win in the Premier League this season with a thrilling comeback victory over Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. The Blues took the lead through a goal from Tammy Abraham early in the second half but were pegged back by a brace from Aleksandar Mitrovic in the space of five minutes to trail 2-1 going into the final 15 minutes. But it was Chelsea who came back strongest and secured all three points thanks to goals from Timo Werner (48) and Jorginho (90+6). Sterling netted twice for Chelsea, scoring his first Premier League goal since December 2017 in the first half as he helped his side move up to fifth place in the table. The result is Chelsea's first win in six league games and sets them up for a busy week ahead with a Champions League match against Manchester City on Tuesday night followed by another top-flight clash with Liverpool next weekend. Overall, it was a remarkable comeback display from Chelsea that saw them secure all three points despite trailing 2-1 at one stage. The performance showcased the resilience and determination of the Blues under new manager Thomas Tuchel, who has already overseen some impressive results in his short time in charge. |
