Fulham triumphed over Chelsea with a dramatic 2-1 victory, thanks to a 95th-minute goal from substitute Rodrigo Muniz in a thrilling Premier League clash on Thursday. This win marked Fulham’s first at Stamford Bridge since 1979 and disrupted Chelsea’s title ambitions, leaving them with 35 points, four behind leaders Liverpool, who have played two games fewer.

Chelsea opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Cole Palmer skillfully maneuvered past two defenders to slide the ball into the bottom corner. However, Fulham’s persistence paid off in the 82nd minute when Harry Wilson headed in their first goal at Stamford Bridge since 2011.

Muniz clinched the victory moments before the final whistle, converting a pass from Sasa Lukic. This win propelled Fulham to eighth place with 28 points from 18 games, while it marked Chelsea’s first league loss since a defeat to Liverpool on October 20.
