Following Chelsea’s triumphant 1-0 victory against Fulham in the 21st round of the Premier League, reports from The Chelsea Chronicle indicate that former player Joe Cole expressed immense admiration for Conor Gallagher’s stellar performance. The sole goal of the match, scored by Cole Palmer from the penalty spot at the end of the first half, secured Chelsea’s win. 

Despite ongoing speculations about Gallagher’s potential departure from the team, Cole emphasized the importance of retaining the 23-year-old midfielder. Gallagher showcased his prowess in the West London derby, playing the full 90 minutes, delivering two dangerous passes, and narrowly missing Fulham’s post with a skillful shot. 

Chelsea’s recent success, marking their fourth victory in five consecutive Premier League matches, has propelled them to the 8th position in the league standings. As Chelsea prepares for upcoming crucial cup fixtures against Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup and Aston Villa in the FA Cup’s fourth round, retaining key players like Gallagher is crucial for their continued success.
