WILSON’S LATE WINNER GIVES FULHAM THE POINTS OVER 10-MAN CHELSEA AFTER DISAPPOINTING 2-1 DEFEAT AT CRAVEN COTTAGE
Harry Wilson’s late winner moved Fulham level on points with Chelsea, after Marc Cucurella was sent off in front of The Blues incoming head coach.
Raul Jimenez capitalised on the 10-man Chelsea to get them ahead after the break, before Liam Delap equalised to secure his first goal for the club.
But it was Wilson who secured Fulham’s first West London derby win since 2024, extending their unbeaten run to six games.
Chelsea had a lot to prove as the visitors at Craven Cottage with new head coach Liam Rosenior sat in the stands, hoping to end their five-game winless run.
They quickly went on the back foot after Cucurella received a red for dragging Wilson down outside the box in the 22nd minute, creating pure derby drama.
But it was Jimenez who ended the stalemate after a goalless first half with a soaring header into the bottom right corner in the 55th minute.
Delap profited from Fulham’s inability to deal with a plethora of Chelsea set pieces, with a superb first goal for his club to equalise the match.
However, Wilson finally secured the win with a well-timed low volley to move them eighth in the league, level on points with Chelsea.
