WATCH: The weight is off his shoulders! Mykhailo Mudryk scores his first Chelsea goal in composed fashion

Mudryk chested down a cross from Levi Colwill before tucking it past Bernd Leno to give Chelsea the lead 18 minutes into the Premier League match at Craven Cottage.

A minute later, Armando Broja doubled their lead thanks to a huge error from Tim Ream, who gave the ball away to Cole Palmer and then ended up kicking the ball off of the Chelsea striker to send it into the net.

Mudryk's goal puts an end to a long wait for the Ukrainian winger's first goal for the club.

He joined the Blues in January in a deal worth a potential €100 million and has had no joy in finding the net until now.

Meanwhile, Broja's effort will come as a huge boost to the striker following his recent return from a cruciate ligament injury that had kept him out of action since last December.

Chelsea came into the clash at Craven Cottage looking to secure their second league win of the season.

The Blues endured a difficult start to the campaign, leaving them 15th in the table before kick-off.

A win at Fulham will make it two in a row for Pochettino's side, as they beat Brighton 1-0 in the Carabao Cup last week.

After Monay's match, the Blues will take on Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
