Fulham vs. Chelsea: Final score 0-3 in simple get for Blues - SB Nation

Chelsea were just a little too beneficial to their West London opponents on Wednesday. Chelsea solidified their Champions League sitting on Wednesday evening, perfectly downing their West London rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage. While the first half-hour of play was encouraging for the Cottagers, a by David Luiz changed the overall game entirely, and winners were eventually run out 3-0 by the Blues. The game was fairly uneventful and very even before Luiz purpose, which shocked Fulham into providing very little resistance for the next 60 minutes. It came somewhat out of left field, with Luiz stepping up from his key security position and deciding to just take what seemed to be a speculative opportunity from 35 yards. It swerved in a way that made it extremely difficult for Mark Schwarzer to stop, right into the utmost effective spot to provide Chelsea a 1-0 lead. Fulham did have one decent chance prior to the end of the very first half, in the 36th second, when Petr Cech was pushed into a end on a low opportunity by Urby Emmanuelson. Chelsea hit right back just six minutes later, but, extending their lead. Shortly after a corner, Juan Mata crossed to the post and found John Terry, who'd lost Philippe Senderos. Schwarzer's setting wasn't precisely stellar often, and he was easily crushed at his near post. As Rafa Benitez is susceptible to do, he'd his side start the next half in an exceedingly conservative method, protecting their two-goal lead. The first occasion in the second half of any real note arrived in the moment, when Mladen Petric accidentally blocked a from Senderos off the line while attempting to divert it into the back of the web, and was called for offside. Just like their only previous excellent possibility of the game, it came very fleetingly before a Chelsea target. Schwazer made an excellent save well on Victor Moses in the minute, but Chelsea made the a lot of the coming spot. Fernando Torres got on the end of the near-post in-swinger and nodded to the rear post, where Terry was there to finish it off, finishing a brace and sealing Chelsea's gain.
