Late goals help Chelsea beat Fulham and reach the top 5
Chelsea scored late to win 2–1 over Fulham and move back into the top 5 in the league. With just minutes left, Pedro Neto hit the net in the 93rd minute to seal the game. That gave the Blues three much-needed points.
The game had looked like a tie, but then young star Tyrique George scored in the 83rd minute to bring Chelsea level. It was the team’s first away win of the year.
If Chelsea stays in the top 5, they could play in the top cup in Europe next season. Coach Enzo Maresca said the win was key and showed the team still fights. He said they had worked hard all season, and this game gave them hope.
Even with the win, there are still big gaps. Star striker Nkunku was left out due to a ‘technical’ decision. Gusto is hurt, and Mudryk may miss more games after a drug test issue.
Some of Chelsea’s top strikers still have not scored in weeks. Palmer, Jackson, and even Neto had been quiet for many games. Yet, this win may help them find their form again.
