Fulham secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Chelsea on Wednesday night, extending their impressive unbeaten run in the Premier League.
The hosts took an early lead through a powerful header from Raul Jimenez, setting the tone for a physical encounter at Craven Cottage. Despite a disallowed goal and intense pressure from the visitors, the home side maintained their composure throughout a high-stakes opening half.
Okay News reports that the game took a dramatic turn when Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella was sent off for a foul on Harry Wilson, leaving the Blues to navigate the remainder of the match with only ten men. While interim manager Calum McFarlane saw his side briefly level the score through Liam Delap’s first league goal, Fulham’s Harry Wilson eventually found the net in the 81st minute with a deflected strike to seal the three points.
The match was watched from the stands by newly appointed Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior, who is scheduled to officially take command of the team following this fixture.
The result marks a significant achievement for Marco Silva’s squad as they continue their strong form, while Chelsea must now look toward a fresh start under their new leadership as they prepare for upcoming FA Cup action.
