Premier League: Chelsea register narrow win over Fulham; Leicester jump to 2nd
India TV NewsFour months into the season and Chelsea manager Frank Lampard appears no closer to knowing his best lineup following a $300 million offseason spending spree that delivered him a squad bursting with quality. Mount’s 78th-minute goal in a 1-0 victory capped a man-of-the-match performance where Chelsea’s more high-profile players again came up short against a team which played the entire second half with 10 men, following the 44th-minute sending-off of U.S. international Antonee Robinson. “His quality and attitude is brilliant,” Lampard said of Mount, who has started 16 of Chelsea’s 18 games — second only to N’Golo Kante. Mount’s goal came when he drilled home a loose ball from a central position inside the area after Fulham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola scooped away a cross, and it brought Chelsea only its second win in its last seven league matches.
