Xabi Alonso started his Stamford Bridge reign with an entertaining 3-2 Premier League win against Fulham, thanks to a devastating attacking display from Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro, and club-record signing Morgan Rogers.
Joao Pedro opened the scoring in just 31 seconds before Rogers and Palmer also found the net, leaving pundits like Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher in high praise of the front three's electric performance.
Despite the sparkling attack, serious questions remain over goalkeeper Robert Sanchez after two defensive errors allowed Josh King and Gonzalo Garcia to score for Fulham.
While Alonso stressed collective responsibility and patience during this transitional process, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher bluntly claimed that Chelsea will never win the league with Sanchez in goal.
