EPL: Mount Lifts Chelsea Over Fulham

Chelsea’s English midfielder Mason Mount celebrates scoring the opening goal during the English Premier League football match between Fulham and Chelsea at Craven Cottage in London on January 16, 2021. Clive Rose / POOL / AFPChelsea eased the pressure on Frank Lampard as Mason Mount’s strike 13 minutes from time broke the resistance of 10-man Fulham to earn a 1-0 win in the West London derby on Saturday.

Chelsea still struggled to make the extra man advantage count, but Mount’s precise low finish moved the visitors up to seventh and within three points of the top four.A first defeat in six games rounded off a disappointing day for Fulham after victories earlier on Saturday for relegation rivals Brighton and West Brom.Lampard responded to Chelsea’s poor run by leaving big-money signings Timo Werner and Kai Havertz on the bench.

Fulham were posing a threat themselves on the break and should have gone in front after a brilliant team move. The hosts were forced to sit deep and doggedly defend wave after wave of Chelsea attack after the break.
