@FlameRaptorRaven's rating of Chelsea FC vs Fulham FC

@FlameRaptorRaven rated the Chelsea FC vs Fulham FC game 9.1 out of 10 in EPL on August 24, 2026. Final score: Chelsea FC 3 – Fulham FC 2. Week 1. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“Fulham put up a heck of a fight in an epic game, but Chelsea was just too much for them. What is the best way to start a match? I’d say a goal in the first 30 seconds is a good answer. Two days after João Pedro signed an extension with The Blues, he scored goal after evading a Fulham tackle. Craven Cottage was silent. I certainly thought Chelsea was about to run away with it. Josh King had other plans. He tied it up and proved that Fulham wasn’t going down quietly. That was the theme of this game. Chelsea would throw a shot and Fulham would punch back. It felt like a massive game. The animosity was certainly there. Reece James bickering with Fulham players was proof enough for that. Ultimately it came down to which team’s attack could take advantage of their opportunities (there were many). That team was Chelsea, mostly thanks to Ice Cold Cole Palmer. He set up Pedro’s goal and scored the winner early in the 2nd half while creating chances with his dribbling. Hopefully he is okay.”
