JUST IN; Another loan off to terrible start as Brazilian forward finds his feet at the worst time for Chelsea
Sadly for all involved, it’s been the worst possible start for this move. The Whites wanted him in because Rodrigo Muniz just wasn’t finding the net with any regularity. But the Brazilian scored in first game following Broja’s arrival, and has now just scored in the second too.
Broja is left stuck on the bench, just where he was at Chelsea.
There’s still time to turn things around, but so far so bad for yet another loan in a season which has seen almost all of them backfire. If he wants to make a success of it, he needs to get on the pitch and start scoring immediately

In a thrilling encounter that redefined the middle of the Premier League table, Fulham soared past Bournemouth, securing a much-needed victory to commence 2024’s winning account. This result, a testament to their resilience, catapulted them above their rivals in the standings.
Rodrigo Muniz emerged as the star of the show, netting twice to become the fulcrum of Fulham’s attacking prowess. His performance was not just about scoring; it was a display of tactical intelligence and sharp finishing that left Bournemouth’s defence in tatters. Muniz’s brace symbolised Fulham’s intent and capability, bringing a new dawn to their Premier League journey.
Early Dominance and Clinical Finishing
Fulham’s dominance was evident from the get-go. Bobby De Cordova-Reid, capitalising on a rare slip by Lewis Cook, found the net with a precision that set the tone for the rest of the match. Bournemouth’s Neto, despite a spectacular one-handed save to deny Willian, could do little to prevent Muniz from doubling Fulham’s advantage, a moment of sheer brilliance that was a joy to behold.
Bournemouth’s Brief Comeback and Fulham’s Swift Response
The Cherries did find a glimmer of hope in Marcos Senesi’s exquisite finish early in the second half, cutting the deficit and briefly threatening a comeback. However, Fulham, unwavering in their resolve, swiftly restored their two-goal cushion. Muniz, once again, was at the heart of this resurgence, meeting Willian’s impeccable delivery to seal the victory.
Willian’s Wizardry: A Driving Force for Fulham
Willian’s impact cannot be understated. His involvement in key moments, including a dazzling one-two with Tom Cairney and a series of penetrating passes and crosses, was crucial. His chemistry with Muniz and their combined threat were instrumental in Fulham’s offensive strategy.
Climbing the Premier League Ladder
This victory is more than just three points for Marco Silva’s team. It’s a statement of intent and a demonstration of their potential in the Premier League. Climbing to 12th, above Bournemouth, Fulham has reignited their season, offering a promise of exciting times ahead.
