LONDON, Aug 24 : Chelsea coach Xabi Alonso toasted his winning debut in the Premier League by praising his front line of Joao Pedro, Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer who put on a masterclass of attacking football in a 3-2 London derby win at Fulham on Monday."They are going to be a very important part to build around them

Cole Palmer scores and sets up Joao Pedro as Chelsea give Xabi Alonso a winning start against Alvaro Arbeloa's Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League.

Xabi Alonso won his first game as Chelsea boss thanks to Morgan Rogers's debut goal and Joao Pedro's strike after just 31 seconds of a pulsating 3-2 victory against Fulham on Monday.
