Premier League: Gonzalo Higuain Scores Chelsea First Away Goal Of The Year During 2-1 Win Over Fulham

Scott Parker's debut as Fulham caretaker manager did not go down well after his team lost 2-1 to their West London next door neighbours Chelsea at Craven Cottage, sending his team down in relegation zone.
Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga made the team starting line after seven days hiatus following a meltdown between him and manager Maurizio Sarri during their defeat by penalty shootout to Manchester City in EFL Carabao Cup final.
Chelsea scored their first away goal since December through Gonzalo Higuain who brilliantly finished Cezar Azpilicueta's cross from inside the area.
Minutes after Blues moved in the score board, Calum Chambers was left unmarked in the box when Ryan Babel flicked a superb cross in and he volleyed the ball in for a deuce in 27th minutes.
Jorginho put Chelsea back in lead with the second and winning, smacking a 19-yard shot through to the post with an assist from Eden Hazard after half an hour of play.
Higuain came close to added in Chelsea's third from Jorginho's through ball but wasted the glaring chance with a ball shot right over the post.
The match ended as Chelsea's first away victory of the year and their first away goals since beating Crystal Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park in December.
