Premier League Summer Series: Chelsea defeat Fulham, win Summer Series without losing any game

Posted : 31 July 2023
Chelsea emerged as the champions of the Premier League Summer Series pre-season tournament after securing a 2-0 victory against Fulham at FedEx Field in Maryland.
 
In the 20th minute, Thiago Silva's header from a well-delivered corner by Ben Chilwell opened the scoring for Chelsea. Just before half-time, Christopher Nkunku capitalized on a good setup from Carney Chukwuemeka to tap the ball into the net, sealing the win for Chelsea. This goal marked Nkunku's third in the pre-season, following his £52m transfer from RB Leipzig.
 
The game took place at the home stadium of NFL team Washington Commanders. Fulham struggled to create significant attacking threats, though Calvin Bassey, making his debut for the club after a £19m move from Ajax, headed over the crossbar from a corner in the second half.
 
A downside for Chelsea was the substitution of defender Trevoh Chalobah, who had to leave the field due to a knock he received during the match. The potential injury will be a concern for new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, especially considering that fellow centre-back Benoit Badiashile is unlikely to be fit for the start of the Premier League season.
 
Despite this concern, Chelsea has made positive moves in the transfer market, securing an agreement to sign defender Axel Disasi from AS Monaco for 45 million euros (£38.57m).
 
With this victory, Chelsea claimed the title in the inaugural Premier League Summer Series, a pre-season tournament that also featured Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford, and Newcastle. Notably, Chelsea achieved this feat without losing a single game throughout the tournament.
