Cole Palmer converts fifth penalty of the season, gives Chelsea the lead

Chelsea are in desperate need of points if their hopes of European football next season are not to begin to fade. That's why the London side knew that a win over the Cottagers on Matchday 21 of the Premier League would be crucial to boost spirits.​
The Blues dominated Fulham from the kick-off at Stamford Bridge, but Mauricio Pochettino's side struggled to convert that control into dangerous chances. However, the home side managed to go in at half-time with the lead after breaking the deadlock in first-half stoppage time.
Sterling received the ball inside the box and was brought down by Diop, prompting Anthony Taylor to point to the spot. Cole Palmer, as he has become accustomed to this season, converted the penalty and has now scored five out of five this season.
The former Manchester City player is being a key player in Chelsea's new project, having made 21 official appearances, 17 of them as a starter, scoring nine goals and providing seven assists.
