Fulham’s Harry Wilson delivers another stunning performance, leading to Chelsea’s defeat in a thrilling west London derby at Stamford Bridge
London: Fulham pulled off a stunning upset against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Harry Wilson was the star, once again proving his worth in the west London derby.
He came off the bench and made a huge impact, scoring the equalizer and assisting the last-minute winner. This was a repeat of his earlier heroics against Brentford, where he also scored twice to snatch victory.
Fulham’s win was their first at Stamford Bridge since 1979, and it’s a big moment for the team. They’re now level on points with Manchester City, which is quite impressive.
On the flip side, Chelsea’s loss is a tough blow for their title hopes. They had just come off a frustrating draw against Everton, and this defeat puts them further behind the leaders.
Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s coach, has been downplaying their title chances, but this match showed they need to tighten up. They led for most of the game thanks to Cole Palmer’s brilliant goal but couldn’t hold on.
Palmer’s goal was a beauty, breaking a record for the most goals in a Premier League calendar year for Chelsea. But it was almost overshadowed by some incredible saves from both goalkeepers.
Fulham kept pushing and found joy down the right flank, where Antonee Robinson was a constant threat. His cross set up Wilson’s equalizer, catching Chelsea’s defense off guard.
In the end, Chelsea’s eagerness to push for a winner left them exposed. Wilson’s quick thinking set up Rodrigo Muniz for the dramatic late goal, sealing the win for Fulham.
