Chelsea 2-0 Fulham
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Stamford Bridge, London
Goals in each half from Pedro and Ruben Loftus-Cheek earned Chelsea a 2-0 win over west London rivals Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday.
N'Golo Kante dispossessed Jean Michael Seri in the middle of the pitch in the fourth minute and sent a perfectly-weighted pass to Pedro who stepped inside and fired low with his left foot into the bottom corner.
Fulham earned their best chances through the lively Calum Chambers who forced Kepa Arrizabalaga into two diving saves.
Yet their hopes were snuffed out in the 82nd minute when Eden Hazard fed substitute Loftus-Cheek and the England midfielder knocked the ball home.
