Rogers says there's more to come after starting life at Chelsea with a goal
Rogers joined Chelsea in a British-record £117 million move and said the team still has more to show after its derby win.
- On Monday, August 24, 2026, Chelsea defeated Fulham 3-2 at Craven Cottage, marking manager Xabi Alonso's first Premier League victory with goals from João Pedro, Morgan Rogers, and Cole Palmer.
- Morgan Rogers' £117 million transfer from Aston Villa set a record for a British player, while Alonso was hired to revive Chelsea after their dismal 10th-place finish last season.
- Despite the attacking success, goalkeeper Robert Sánchez faced criticism after errors allowed Fulham to equalize in the 23rd minute, exposing vulnerabilities in Alonso's aggressive 3-4-3 formation.
- Following the league opener, Alonso benched Sánchez for Thursday's Carabao Cup match against Luton Town, handing 21-year-old goalkeeper Mike Penders his debut in Chelsea's 2-0 victory.
- Midfielder Enzo Fernandez remains linked to Manchester City despite Chelsea's £120 million valuation, while reports suggest Alonso may pursue Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to address defensive concerns.
