Chelsea 3-1 Fulham

 


Chelsea prevailed in today’s London derby but Fulham captain, Federico, was Man of the Match. He tackled, ran and passed like a man obsessed. But, unfortunately for his team, he was unable to link up well with his forwards for a solid end product.

For Chelsea, Leopoldo - clearly a favourite among the home support here in The Shed - was very active early on. Gifted the ball by Patrizio, his shot struck the post and went wide. Minutes later, he was through again but this time Patrizio made a good save. Not long after though, it was Claudio’s left foot that opened the scoring - a low shot past a diving Patrizio. Leopoldo’s link-up with the post then continued, but this time Claudio was on hand to roll i n the rebound to make it 2-0. Diego had a chance just before the break toi cut the deficit but Sa saved.

In the second half, Piervalerio took a yellow card for the team, stopping Diego with a cynical handball. He then stopped Diego again, this time with a perfectly-timed sliding tackle. But Fulham persisted and Lorenzo L pulled a goal back. To no avail though, Giovanni Mori restored the two goal margin which, in truth, should have been wider.. 

BEST PLAYER POINTS: Federico 4, Claudio 3, Leopoldo 3, Diego 2, Piervalerio 2, Mostafa 1,  Mattia 1, Tancredi 1, Carlo 1, Patrizio 1, Sam 1, Giovanni Vittorio 1
