Alonso’s Chelsea Attack Shines | Jamaica News

Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea debut was a dazzling statement win, 3-2 over Fulham, powered by a trio of attacking brilliance: Joao Pedro, Morgan Rogers, and Cole Palmer. Pedro opened the scoring in just one minute, Palmer set up the opener and later sealed the win with a second-half goal, while Rogers doubled the lead after Fulham’s keeper fumbled. The performance marked a stark contrast to last season’s struggles, as Alonso unleashed his forwards with freedom and precision — emphasizing that while these “special players” are vital, the whole squad must deliver control, quality, and grit. Despite shaky moments from goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who gifted Fulham their second goal, Chelsea held firm. Palmer, revitalized after a tough year, celebrated with Rogers — their friendship adding spark to the pitch. Alonso’s tactical vision, echoing his Bayer Leverkusen days, delivered an explosive start, proving this Chelsea team is ready to roar back into contention.
