December 26, (THEWILL) – Fulham executed a remarkable late comeback to defeat Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge, dealing another setback to Enzo Maresca’s side in the English Premier League.
Cole Palmer demonstrated his exceptional talent by opening the scoring for Chelsea. The midfielder manoeuvred two defenders before placing a composed finish beyond goalkeeper Bernd Leno to establish an early advantage for the home team.
Chelsea thought they had doubled their lead through Levi Colwill, but his header was disallowed for offside. The decision proved pivotal as Fulham mounted increasing pressure throughout the match.
The visitors’ persistence paid dividends in the 81st minute when Harry Wilson arrived at the far post to head in an equaliser, despite Robert Sanchez’s earlier heroics in denying Antonee Robinson.
The dramatic turnaround reached its peak during stoppage time. Rodrigo Muniz found space inside the penalty area and converted the opportunity, sending the away supporters into euphoria while silencing the home crowd. It is a significant victory for Fulham in their quest for EPL stability, while Chelsea falter in their chase of Liverpool at the top.
