Chelsea beat Fulham 3-2 but Sánchez concerns persist

Chelsea started the new season with a 3-2 victory at Fulham, showing plenty of attacking quality while familiar concerns over goalkeeper Robert Sánchez continued at the back.

Attacking display and defensive worries

Max Rushden, joined by Barry Glendenning, Jacob Steinberg and George Elek on the Football Weekly podcast, discussed how Chelsea were excellent going forward but that problems with Sánchez persisted. Fulham, meanwhile, looked bright and had two brilliant chances to equalise.

Elsewhere in the EFL

The podcast also turned to the EFL, where Championship favourites West Ham have started terribly. In League One, Leicester City suffered a similar fate after a 2-1 home loss to Burton Albion at the weekend.
