Not the best start for Rosenior at Chelsea. Сuсurella leaves the Londoners a man down early in the match against Fulham
In Premier League Matchweek 21, Chelsea are facing Fulham in their first game under new head coach Liam Rosenior, who has replaced Enzo Maresca at the helm. The debut for the new manager has gotten off to a rough start.
Details: By the 22nd minute, Chelsea were already down to ten men: Marc Cucurella was sent off for a last-man foul, immediately making the task much tougher for the Blues against Fulham.
The club has now received five red cards in the Premier League, and according to Opta, only once in their history have Chelsea been sent off more times in a single campaign—six times in the 2007-08 season.
As of the 30th minute, the deadlock remains unbroken.
Reminder: The match between Chelsea and Benfica youth teams has been postponed due to power supply issues.
