Former Liverpool striker, Peter Crouch believes Chelsea have found the answer to their long-standing search for a top class No.1 goalkeeper in the shape of Djordje Petrovic.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side moved up to eighth in the Premier League table following a 1-0 victory against Fulham on Saturday.
Cole Palmer’s first half penalty gave the Blues all three points at Stamford Bridge.
However, the performance of Petrovic helped keep Chelsea’s slender lead intact.
“He [Petrovic] looks really assured, he was catching the ball, taking the pressure off his defenders; he was vocal, he made a couple of good saves,” Crouch told TNT Sport.
“He looks like the answer because they have really struggled for goalkeepers in recent years.”
