Chelsea 1-2 Fulham: Rodrigo Muniz scores the winner in stoppage time as the visitors claim a late comeback victory

Chelsea 1-2 Fulham: Rodrigo Muniz scores the winner in stoppage time as the visitors claim a late comeback victory

Marco Silva’s excellent work at Fulham has been illustrated by the way they have earned fully deserved draws at home to Arsenal and away to Liverpool in recent weeks.

Fulham have a potent combination of quality, energy and relentless ambition and that was evident here as they refused to be intimidated when they fell behind to Palmer’s superb early strike.

It was no surprise when Wilson equalized as Fulham took advantage of Chelsea’s growing fears to snatch a late winner from Muniz.

Silva ran down the touchline to celebrate with his team in the backroom, with the Portuguese coach’s positive attitude and coaching acumen central to this outstanding performance.

Fulham keeper Leno did his bit by denying crucial saves from Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez either side of the break – and keeping Chelsea away from goal in a frantic duel.

However, this was not a rearguard action by Fulham.

Chelsea keeper Sanchez bravely lunged at the feet of Antonee Robinson as the Fulham left-back was on the verge of an equaliser.

Fulham didn’t have to wait long for Wilson’s equalizer, with the Welsh midfielder providing the late display he has perfected this season, such as scoring twice in a similar late win over Brentford at Craven Cottage.

Muniz’s winning goal sparked ecstatic scenes from Fulham’s players and fans – and given this evidence, no one can blame them for celebrating.
