Morgan Rogers Equals Drogba & Hazard Chelsea Record

Morgan Rogers continued his impressive start to life at Chelsea by scoring against Hull City in Saturday’s Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge. However, his early goal was not enough to secure all three points, as Hull fought back through a Mohamed Belloumi brace before João Pedro rescued a 2-2 draw for the Blues.


The result extended Chelsea’s winless run against promoted sides at home, but Rogers still had plenty to celebrate after writing his name alongside some of the club’s greatest attacking stars.


Morgan Rogers Matches Chelsea Record

Rogers’ goal against Hull saw him become the fifth different player to score or assist in each of Chelsea’s first four games of a Premier League season.


Thus, the England international has now joined an exclusive group featuring Didier Drogba, Cesc Fàbregas, Diego Costa and Eden Hazard.


The achievement highlights just how quickly Rogers has made an impact at Stamford Bridge following his move from Aston Villa. He had already scored against Fulham and contributed an assist against Brighton before continuing his run against Hull.


The full list of Chelsea players to achieve the feat is:


Didier Drogba – 2010/11


Cesc Fàbregas – 2014/15


Diego Costa – 2014/15 and 2016/17


Eden Hazard – 2018/19


Morgan Rogers – 2026/27


Being mentioned alongside Drogba and Hazard is particularly significant, given their legendary status at Chelsea. Drogba remains one of the club’s greatest-ever forwards, while Hazard established himself as one of the Premier League’s most creative and influential attackers during his Stamford Bridge career.


Rogers Making Fast Chelsea History

Rogers’ immediate influence has been one of the major positives of Chelsea’s start to the 2026/27 campaign. His goal against Hull came early in the match after João Pedro created the opening, giving Chelsea the perfect start before defensive mistakes allowed the visitors to turn the game around.


Although Chelsea ultimately had to settle for a point, Rogers’ latest contribution means he has already joined an elite group of Blues players after just four league games.


With the season still in its early stages, the 24-year-old will now look to continue his remarkable scoring and assisting run and establish himself as one of Chelsea’s best players under Xabi Alonso.
