Rogers says there's more to come after starting life at Chelsea with a goal
Rogers scored in his first Chelsea appearance as the club’s new attack produced three goals and kept pressure on Fulham.
- On Monday, August 24, 2026, Chelsea defeated Fulham 3-2 at Craven Cottage, with João Pedro, Morgan Rogers, and Cole Palmer scoring to give manager Xabi Alonso a winning Premier League debut.
- Former Real Madrid teammates Alonso and Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa made their managerial debuts in this West London derby, with Chelsea's summer spending headlined by Rogers' £117 million transfer from Aston Villa.
- Despite the attacking trio's poise, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez committed errors in the 23rd and 54th minutes, leaving Chelsea exposed defensively despite Alonso's bold 3-4-3 formation.
- Midfielder Enzo Fernandez remained absent from the squad amid speculation over a move to Manchester City, with Chelsea reportedly seeking at least £120 million for the Argentine as the transfer deadline approached.
- Following a 2-0 Carabao Cup victory over Luton Town on Thursday, August 27, 2026, Alonso's side prepares to face Leeds United, with the manager balancing squad depth as the transfer window closes.
