Chelsea had a tentative first 20 minutes in this game, but the last 10 have seen them really turn the screw and start creating chances.
Mason Mount had already had a goal-bound shot blocked, and he’s now hit the bar too. Another cross created danger, and after a nice first touch the midfielder just put the ball too high with Fulham keeper Areola beaten.
We need to keep up this pressure, but really make it count while we’re on top. This isn’t going to be an easy game, and we can’t miss chances like this.
