Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso secured a winning start against Fulham as attacking signings Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro, and Morgan Rogers shone, though defensive concerns persist regarding goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
At Craven Cottage, Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa faced a tough opener, while other new bosses like Will Still experienced frustrating defeats despite showing early tactical promise.
