Ahead thanks to a goal from Cole Palmer at the start of the match, the Blues were surprised at the end of the match by Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz who gave the Cottagers victory. This success allows Fulham players to temporarily seize 8th position in the Premier League.
On the other hand, Chelsea are doing a bad job with this setback. Liverpool, who face Leicester in the evening, can take a serious lead in the standings if they win. Arsenal can also go ahead if they succeed this Friday against Ipswich.
Chelsea ended a run of 12 consecutive matches without defeat in all competitions (9 wins and 3 draws).
Palmer launches the Blues perfectly
Chelsea directly displayed their ambitions in this London derby. On their strength, Enzo Maresca’s men quickly took the advantage thanks to the inevitable Cole Palmer. The English attacking midfielder produced a technical rush of great beauty before finishing with finesse with the flat of his left foot (1-0, 16th).
Despite good intentions in the game, the Cottagers were unable to break the deadlock and get back on Chelsea.
Fulham in money time
In front, Chelsea generally mastered their subject before being surprised at the end of the match. First by opportunistic Harry Wilson following a judicious header in the area from Timothy Castagne (1-1, 82nd).
A few minutes later, Marcos Silva’s players will do it again and overthrow Palmer’s partners thanks to a cool goal from Rodrigo Muniz following a service from Sasa Lukic (2-1, 90+5).
With 6 matches in a row without defeat in the league, Fulham are picking up points and establishing themselves as a formidable team. THE
Cottagers will want to continue their series this Sunday in front of their home crowd against Bournemouth.
