It is fair to say that Gary Neville was impressed with what he saw from Chelsea in their 3-2 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Monday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Defensively, Chelsea<\/a> were a bit shaky at times, especially Robert Sanchez. But going forward, they were incredible.<\/p>\n

\n

All three of their attackers \u2014 Cole Palmer<\/a>, Morgan Rogers<\/a> and Joao Pedro<\/a> \u2014 managed to score. Palmer and Pedro were also able to provide assists during the west London derby.<\/p>\n

Gary Neville in awe of Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro<\/h2>\n

Unsurprisingly, the performances of Palmer, Rogers and Pedro did not go unnoticed. In fact, Neville<\/a> has claimed that Chelsea\u2019s attack was \u201cone of the best things\u201d he saw from the Premier League\u2019s<\/a> opening weekend.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Sky Sports<\/a>, the Manchester United legend said: \u201cThe attacking play, Cole Palmer sensational. If you talk about Cole Palmer getting back to his best you\u2019ve got a \u00a3120m-\u00a3125m player there. Rogers getting a goal. Those two being electric with Joao Pedro up front. The front three were brilliant tonight. One of the best things I\u2019ve seen this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

You would now expect to see the very same frontline when Chelsea take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.<\/p>\n

However, before then, the Blues face Luton Town<\/a> in the second round of the Carabao Cup<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Xabi Alonso<\/a> is likely to rotate his attack, which could mean starts for Estevao Willian and Geovany Quenda, who were both second-half substitutes at Craven Cottage. <\/p>\n

Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro could be the best attack in the Premier League<\/h2>\n

On paper, Palmer, Rogers and Pedro already looked like a good attack. Individually, they have all performed in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The question was whether they could perform as a unit, with Paul Merson having his doubts before the Fulham game.<\/p>\n

Merson was worried about Palmer, Rogers and Pedro<\/a> playing in the same team, fearing that the trio would all try to occupy the same space.<\/p>\n

However, there was no such issue at Craven Cottage. Palmer was brilliant in the right half-space, Rogers was just as effective on the opposite side and Pedro stayed up front and did his job.<\/p>\n

All in all, you may now be looking at the best attack in England.<\/p>\n
