Schurrle managed a great performance against Fulham and helped his team win the match by scoring a hat-trick. The West London side did not stand a chance as the Blues made a great effort to secure three difficult points after a fatiguing Champions League clash against Galatasaray.
Things could have gone a bit different though if Dempsey had not missed the first chance of the game. Torres also had a chance to get the opener but failed to score yet again. As the game unfolded, the Spaniard looked confident he could find the net for the fifth time this Premier League season but it was Schurrle who made his mark.
All he needed was just short of 20 minutes to make Mourinho happy. The German international outran Fulham’s defenders on several occasions after being served by Hazard. The Belgian midfielder got his 7th and 8th assists of the season proving once again he is true provider and goal threat.
Heitinga scored a consolation with 25 minute to go for Fulham after Chelsea defended a corner the wrong way. The Blues now prepare to face Spurs where with a win they could pretty much destroy any hopes of the Champions League next year for the North London club.
