Fulham vs Chelsea
Chelsea win the bragging rights in the London derby after coming from behind to beat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage, thanks to a wonderful strike from Neto deep into stoppage time. Fulham dominated much of the first half and took the lead on 20 minutes through Iwobi, but Chelsea made changes at the break and were a much-improved side after the restart, with Palmer much more involved and Sancho providing a threat down the left wing. It looked like Fulham would come away with all three points, with Chelsea unable to find a way past Leno, with Neto and Gusto both testing the keeper. However, George came off the bench to fire in his first Premier League goal and the equaliser on 83 minutes, before Neto powered in the winner on 93 minutes to clinch the victory and put Chelsea back into the Champions League spots. Fulham will remain ninth and they’ll face Southampton next time out, whilst Chelsea play Everton next weekend, That’s all from us today, we hope you enjoyed the game!
