"Enzo Fernandez scored one and set up another for Joao Pedro as Chelsea made it back-to-back Premier League wins with a 2-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday. Joao Pedro followed up his goal in the thrashing of West Ham with the opener at Stamford Bridge, heading home from Fernandez's left-sided corner nine minutes into first-half stoppage time. A lengthy period of additional time came after referee Robert Jones had overturned Josh King's breakaway strike following a VAR review,"
"Rodrigo Muniz's foul on Trevoh Chalobah in the build-up was spotted after a VAR review, and another similar intervention brought Chelsea's second goal after 56 minutes. Fernandez converted from the penalty spot after Ryan Sessegnon was deemed to have handled Chalobah's attempted cross, though Fulham felt Joao Pedro had also used his arm moments before. Joao Pedro and Estevao both went close to a late third goal before the former cleared off the line from Sander Berge in the closing stages."

Fernandez converted a 56th-minute penalty after Ryan Sessegnon was ruled to have handled Chalobah's cross. Chelsea secured a first home league win of the season and moved temporarily top with seven points, while Fulham sit 14th on two points.
