In the first round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Fulham 3-2 away in Xabi Alonso's debut as coach, securing a winning start to the new season. The Athletic reported on the main highlights of the match, with a focus on Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez.

According to the report, this West London derby at Craven Cottage was a fiery affair, producing five goals in total. Both teams created numerous chances, showing excellent attacking prowess, but their defense and goalkeeping were riddled with errors. Ultimately, Chelsea secured a 3-2 victory away from home.

Alonso will be pleased with Morgan Rogers' debut goal and Cole Palmer's return to form, but Fulham's repeated ease in breaking through Chelsea's defense has also sounded an alarm.

How impressive were Chelsea's new signings?

Chelsea signed nine first-team players this summer, but only two of them started at Craven Cottage in this match. These two happened to be the most expensive signings and the two "immediate impact starters" that the club promised to sign before Alonso's first season as coach.

Morgan Rogers and Maxence Lacroix are both proven Premier League players. Chelsea paid a hefty transfer fee to sign them, expecting them to contribute immediately to the team. Both quickly integrated into the team in the match against Fulham, which will delight Alonso and Chelsea's hierarchy.

Lacroix joined from Crystal Palace, tasked with bringing leadership and defensive solidity to Chelsea's backline. Within the first three minutes of the match, he won two aerial duels, one of which directly assisted João Pedro's opening goal. In Alonso's three-center-back system, he distributed the ball well, defended calmly in open spaces, and constantly directed and communicated on the field.

Chelsea won't expect him to frequently surge into the opposition box in open play, but in this match, he brilliantly dribbled past Jorge Cuenca, tricked goalkeeper Bernd Leno, and delivered a cut-back pass to assist Rogers' easy debut goal.

Next up is Chelsea's record signing this summer, the new £117 million recruit.

Despite limited time training together in pre-season, Rogers, Palmer, and João Pedro combined seamlessly in high-intensity pressing, winning the ball back multiple times in the attacking third. His physical presence and ball-carrying ability brought a different element to Chelsea's front three, capable of stepping up at crucial moments and also willing to do the unseen hard work.

Chelsea's third goal exemplified his willingness to do the dirty work: he dropped back to receive the ball, attempting to flick Sanchez's long ball to João Pedro, though even replays made it hard to tell if he touched the ball. But throughout the match, it was clear that his chemistry with Palmer went far beyond a good personal relationship; they combined flawlessly on the pitch.

This was only the first match of the new season, but initially, both Rogers and Lacroix have immediately enhanced Chelsea's strength.

How serious is Sanchez's problem?

Whether Robert Sanchez can cement his place as Chelsea's goalkeeper usually becomes clear quickly. In this match, his first touch saw him launch a long ball under almost no pressure, which flew directly out of bounds.

When out of form, Sanchez's unease spreads through the Chelsea defense like a bad smell. The problem reappeared in the 14th minute: he was slow in dealing with Josh Achampong's backpass, allowing the ball to roll out for a corner.

Shot-stopping was once one of Sanchez's strengths, but even in this area, he makes some perplexing errors. Joshua King's shot in the 20th minute was powerful, but not particularly tricky in angle or top-tier in strength, yet the ball slipped past his hands into the net.

Chelsea's attacking performance in this match was good enough to comfortably win the game, until Sanchez parried Timothy Castagne's shot straight to Gonzalo Garcia, reducing the team's lead.

Sanchez can also make spectacular saves, and for parts of Enzo Maresca's tenure, he was one of Chelsea's best performers. But his issues with concentration and technical execution errors make his performances too inconsistent to be the starting goalkeeper for a team with grand ambitions.

This is Sanchez's fourth season at Chelsea. Every season he has lost his starting spot, and Mike Penders' opportunity should come soon.

Has Palmer regained his form?

Nothing demonstrates his determination for a rebound season more than providing a brilliant assist with his second touch of the new season.

This was typical Cole Palmer: by the time Lacroix's pass arrived, he had already assessed the situation ahead. He instantly spotted João Pedro's perfect run, as the latter had darted into a huge gap in Fulham's defense. Palmer didn't hesitate, made no unnecessary touches, and delivered a perfectly weighted and directed chip pass, putting the Brazilian player through on goal against the goalkeeper.

This was just the first sign, but far from the only moment proving Palmer was nearing his best. Minutes later, he casually flicked the ball over with his left heel, into Rogers' path. Off the ball, he also became a threat again, pressing opponents quickly and purposefully, blocking passing lanes, and helping the team win back possession.

Another of Palmer's killer moves was also on display in this match: he quickly shifted his hips when receiving the ball half-turned in space, creating passing room, and threaded a pass to the onrushing Lacroix, who assisted Chelsea's second goal. Soon after the start of the second half, he showcased excellent balance and ball control in another scenario, dribbling past two Fulham defenders with continuous changes of direction.

When in form, Palmer's every move is a joy to watch, a natural focal point on the pitch. His first goal of the season, a nutmeg, perfectly suited his style: he received João Pedro's perfectly timed delayed pass, quickly looked up to check for a cross opportunity, then slotted the ball between Leno's legs.

However, a worrying moment came when Palmer, after stopping João Pedro's lay-off, suddenly stopped and clutched his calf. After an injury-plagued 2025-26 season, he deserves better luck. Staying healthy and performing like this would not only be good for Chelsea but also make the entire Premier League more exciting to watch.

How was エンソ・フェルナンデス treated?

In the 65th minute, エンソ・フェルナンデス came on as a substitute for Romeo Lavia. After that, every touch he made was met with a chorus of boos from the home fans at Craven Cottage.

This was the first round of the new Premier League season, and the first official match for the Argentine international in front of an English audience since Argentina eliminated England in the World Cup semi-finals this summer. After the World Cup, he sparked controversy by celebrating with a flag related to the Falkland Islands. Therefore, being booed in this match was almost inevitable.

Chelsea ultimately held onto a one-goal lead, defeating their West London rivals and securing new coach Xabi Alonso's first Premier League win. However, エンソ・フェルナンデス's arrival didn't help the team stabilize the midfield tempo. Out of 19 passes, he completed 17, mostly sideways passes, or dropping deep to receive the ball to avoid pressure.

With key midfielder Moisés Caicedo out injured, エンソ・フェルナンデス still didn't get a starting opportunity, which further clouded his future. The Athletic reported last weekend that Chelsea expects エンソ・フェルナンデス to stay. Chelsea valued the 25-year-old midfielder at £120 million and set last Friday as the deadline for other teams to meet their asking price. Manchester City was one of the interested clubs, but ultimately no team submitted an offer.
