Ex-England U19 Stars Moses, Tomori, Aluko Feature As Chelsea Take Fulham To The Cleaners
Published: July 15, 2017
Premier League champions Chelsea thrashed Championship side Fulham 8-2 in a behind-closed-doors friendly staged at Cobham on Saturday evening.
Three former England U19 internationals of Nigerian descent Victor Moses, Sone Aluko and Fikayo Tomori were all involved for their respective teams, with the first two named in the starting eleven.
At the end of the first half, The Blues were leading 5-1 courtesy of a hat-trick from Willian and a brace from Batshuayi.
The Premier League side were unlucky to concede when Azpilicueta diverted the ball past Caballero inside the six-yard box.
Johansen reduced the deficit after he converted his spot kick with 55 minutes played, before two goals from Azpilicueta and Remy made the score 7-2.
Loïc Rémy capped off the rout with a goal from the penalty spot in the closing minutes after he was felled by the goalkeeper.
