Mudryk scores first Premier league goal as Chelsea beat Fulham to snap their goal drought.

Chelsea ended a run of three Premier League games without scoring by beating south-west London rivals Fulham 2-0 at Craven Cottage.

At this point, Chelsea's goalscoring woes are one of the biggest elephants in the PL space.

The Blues arrived in this game without scoring in 285 minutes of first-class football, and their lack of clinical sharpness became the butt of so many jokes that Domino's parked a van outside Craven Cottage to remind fans how many pizzas they have . sold as Nicolas Jackson scored his side's third goal against Luton Town.

When Armando Broja somehow shot over the bar within two minutes of this game despite being offside, you had the feeling it would be a familiar story for Mauricio Pochettino and co.

But just before the 20th minute, the visitors got the first goal they deserved when Mykhailo Mudryk controlled Levi Colwill's wonderful pass before firing through the legs of Bernd Leno, who scored his first club goal since his transfer in the January provided. He came from Shakhtar Donetsk.

As expected, the relief on his face was clear and from that moment on he seemed full of confidence.

Do you know that thing about London buses? Well, that old saying proved true on this occasion as 80 seconds later Chelsea were leading by two points.

This was certainly a coincidence, as Tim Ream's shot bounced off Broja and into the net, but neither the goalscorer nor his teammates cared too much about it.

This minute-and-a-half blitz took the breath away from Fulham, who posed virtually no attacking threat before the break.

Of course, 45 dominant minutes were never going to solve all of Chelsea's problems, and after the break they were clearly warned against sending too many players forward to defend the three points.

Nevertheless, the Blues should have scored a third thanks to Ian Maatsen, who replaced Mudryk at half-time, but the Dutchman could only hit the post while Enzo Fernández's shot went in behind on the rebound.

As the Cottagers tried to get back into the game, Carlos Vinicius misjudged the double chances before Alex Iwobi missed a similar opportunity. However, Sasa Lukic had the best opening, whose shot from close range was parried by Robert Sánchez.

That was Fulham's last success as Pochettino's side finished the rest of the game with a win.After a 1-0 win in the Carabao Cup midweek against Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea have now won two games in a row, a bit of form they can build on.
