In the hot seat before the end-of-year holiday period, Mauricio Pochettino can breathe as Chelsea scored a third victory in a row in the Premier League on Saturday against Fulham (1-0).
It’s still not that for Chelsea, who found the fault on a penalty converted by Cole Palmer after a foul on Raheem Sterling (45th + 4), before trembling throughout the second half, but the Blues won the West London derby against Fulham (1-0), Saturday at Stamford Bridge, on behalf of the 21st day of the Premier League.
Mauricio Pochettino’s team is now three wins in a row in the league, after its successes against Crystal Palace (2-1) then Luton (2-3) between Christmas and New Year’s Day, which allows it to move up in 8th position in the standings, provisionally nine points behind 4th (Arsenal). Above all, the Argentinian coach can breathe even though his ouster was anticipated last month…
Malo Gusto, Axel Disasi and Thiago Silva started in defense, while Benoît Badiashile remained on the bench. Christopher Nkunku must soon return to collective training.
