Chelsea’s 1-2 loss to Fulham at Stamford Bridge was a shocking turn of events, especially considering the Blues’ impressive eight-match winning streak had just ended with a draw against Everton. Despite being unbeaten in 12 matches, Chelsea’s title hopes took a dent with this unexpected defeat.
Fulham’s victory was largely due to their strong defensive performance, which has been the backbone of their success this season. Raúl Jiménez’s return to form has also boosted their goalscoring capabilities. Although they had some notable injury concerns, including Emile Smith Rowe and Sander Berge, Fulham’s squad depth helped them secure the win
Chelsea, on the other hand, missed key players like Reece James, Wesley Fofana, and Benoît Badiashile due to injuries. Roméo Lavia’s absence also impacted their midfield dynamics. The Blues will need to regroup and reassess their strategy to bounce back from this setback.
Match Highlights:
Goal Scorers:_ Cole Palmer (16′) for Chelsea, and Neto (80′), Muniz (90+5′) for Fulham
– _Yellow Cards:_ Lukic (34′), Andersen (38′), Robinson (90+1′) for Fulham
