Cole Palmer Sinks Fulham To Lift Chelsea Gloom
Cole Palmer fired Chelsea to a 1-0 win against west London rivals Fulham on Saturday as the inconsistent Blues bounced back from their League Cup embarrassment at Middlesbrough. Palmer converted a penalty late in the first half at Stamford Bridge to erase the bitter taste from Chelsea's shock 1-0 loss against second-tier Middlesbrough in the semi-final first leg on Tuesday. That League Cup calamity was just the latest disappointment in a troubled season for Mauricio Pochettino's side.
