Xabi Alonso is a satisfied man after his side’s 3-2 victory over Fulham.

“It was a professional performance, I think the game had different momentum and to win away in the Premier League is really tough and we knew we were prepared for that to manage emotionally the game as well,” he told the Premier League’s coverage.

“I’m happy with the performance, it’s a good one to build on for the future.”

Morgan Rogers looked great for Chelsea in his debut after a record move from Aston Villa.

He told the Premier League’s coverage that couldn’t have gone much better.

“When you want to start with a new team, you want to start well and hit the ground running and to score in the first half is nice,” he said.

“To here the fans signing your name and get that connection straight away was a really nice moment. Getting the three points was important, so it’s perfect.”

Rogers added combining with the likes of Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer in the front three is why he joined the club.

“We’re still working, it’s not finished by any stretch but it’s a good start,” he said.

Cole Palmer was asked on Sky Sports how ready he’s feeling for this season.

His answer suggests he knows just how good he played.

“Did you not watch the game?,” he smiled.

“Nah, I’m only joking. I’m ready, it was a difficult (last) season with injuries. Since I’ve been back I’ve worked extra hard and my injuries, I have to prevent them from happening again.”

That was a strong statement from Chelsea tonight.

They weren’t convincing but my word they looked great in attack.

Cole Palmer was sensational and Morgan Rogers looked great too.

“There were things to really like [for Chelsea],” Jamie Carragaher said on Sky Sports.

“I think we said before the game on paper that front three is sensational and it looked it in the game. I think Joao Pedro was fantastic, Morgan Rogers first game and when you think of him, Palmer and Joao Pedro - that is as good as anything in the Premier League.”

Five goals in the London derby and victory goes towards Chelsea!

Chelsea has missed out on a goal after an early offside call.

Joao Pedro waved his finger at the sideline to suggest he wasn’t offside but the call wasn’t against him. It was against Geovany Quenda from earlier.

Worth nothing now in stoppage time that Chelsea’s fans are signing Enzo Fernandez’s name too.
