Chelsea won the maiden Premier League Summer Series pre-season tournament after beating Fulham 2-0 at FedEx Field in Maryland, Washington.
Chelsea captain Thiago Silva headed the Blues into the lead after a delicious corner from defender Ben Chilwell.
They doubled their lead just before half-time as Christopher Nkunku pounced on the rebound of Carney Chukwuemeka’s shot.
The goal was Nkunku’s third pre-season strike since joining for £52m move from RB Leipzig.
Fulham did not provide much of an attacking threat although Calvin Bassey, playing for Fulham for the first time since his £19m move from Ajax, headed over from a corner in the second half.
One negative for the Blues was when defender Trevoh Chalobah had to be substituted after receiving treatment for a knock on the pitch.
That potential injury will be a worry for new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, with fellow centre-back Benoit Badiashile not set be fit for the start of the Premier League season.
Chelsea have, however, reached an agreement to sign defender Axel Disasi from AS Monaco for 45m euros (£38.57m).
Victory means Chelsea have won the first Premier League Summer Series – the pre-season tournament also featuring Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford, and Newcastle – without losing a game.
