Rodrigo Muniz capped a stunning late Fulham comeback at Stamford Bridge to deal a major blow to Chelsea’s Premier League title hopes.
The Brazilian’s 95th-minute winner came shortly after former Liverpool youngster Harry Wilson appeared to have stolen a point for the Cottagers against their regular tormentors.
Enzo Maresca’s side led for most of the match at Stamford Bridge through Cole Palmer’s stunning strike in the 16th minute.
Palmer scored his twelfth Premier League goal of the season after an excellent turn and finish that would have moved the Blues to within a point of the leaders ahead of their home game against Leicester.
But Marco Silva’s team, who have earned points against Arsenal and Liverpool in recent weeks, responded in the 82nd minute with Wilson’s header and Muniz’s goal to secure their first-ever win at the home of their local rivals.
The result moves the Cottagers up to eighth in the division, while the Maresca side are four points behind the Reds, who have two games in hand. More to follow.
