This setback didn't deter the home team, and they soon took the lead when Ryan Sessegnon stole the ball from Reece James and delivered a precise pass to Alex Iwobi, who scored with a left-footed shot from outside the box.

Chelsea responded well to the goal, dominating possession and pushing Fulham back into their own half. However, creating clear scoring opportunities was a challenge for the visiting team.

The Chelsea fans were vocal in their support, urging their team to attack, but their pleas were initially met with limited success.

In the second half, Chelsea's substitute Malo Gusto played a crucial role, delivering a cross that Pedro Neto nearly converted into a goal, only to be denied by the goalkeeper.

Despite struggling to create scoring chances, Chelsea continued to press and eventually equalized through academy graduate Tyrique George, who scored with a powerful shot into the bottom corner.

The momentum shifted in Chelsea's favor, and they capitalized on their dominance to score a late winner. Pedro Neto controlled the ball, turned, and struck a powerful shot into the net, securing a crucial win for Chelsea.

The defeat for Fulham means they missed an opportunity to move into eighth place, which could be crucial for a European spot at the end of the season.
