Fulham 2-1 Chelsea result - Liam Rosenior watches from stands as 10-man Blues sunk by Raul Jimenez, Harry Wilson goals

Harry Wilson’s late winner secured Fulham a 2-1 victory over Chelsea to move level on points with their west London rivals, after Marc Cucurella was sent off in front of The Blues' incoming head coach Liam Rosenior. 

Chelsea had a lot to prove as the visitors at Craven Cottage with the newly-appointed head coach sat in the stands, as interim boss Calum McFarlane hoped to end The Blues' 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. 

Jimenez found the breakthrough after a goalless first half with a soaring header into the bottom right corner on 55 minutes. 

Later, Liam Delap profited from Fulham’s inability to deal with a plethora of Chelsea set pieces, with a superb first Premier League goal for his club to equalise. 

However, Wilson finally secured the win with a well-timed low volley to move Fulham ninth in the league, level on points with Chelsea. 

That's Fulham's sixth unbeaten game in the league after their draw with Liverpool at the weekend.

While they had fewer shots on target in the match, the goals from Jimenez and Wilson saw them subject Chelsea to another disappointing performance and win their first west London derby since 2024.

They managed to control the game from the very start, only appearing to struggle with Chelsea's set pieces, coming unstuck only once at the hands of Delap.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
It's a lot to take back to Stamford Bridge after one red, three quick yellows, and one big defeat for Chelsea in their final game under interim McFarlane.

Liam Rosenior, who was in the crowd tonight, is now in charge and will be leading the side as they face Charlton on Saturday in the FA Cup - live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

Lots to work on, but is there enough time?

After that, Fulham and Chelsea are now level on points in the league, with Fulham in ninth on goal difference.

The loss is another big hit for Chelsea who now fall to eighth, slipping down from fifth as Brentford fill that spot.

The last time Fulham beat Chelsea at Craven Cottage, Wilson was also an essential member of the squad, scoring an 82nd-minute equalizer to keep Fulham in the match.

That's a wrap! A huge win for Fulham as Wilson secures the winner, as Fulham beat Chelsea in the West London derby for the first time since December 2024.

It's getting desperate, it looked like Chelsea were trying to work out an opportunity, until Neto fired a long ball at the goal, but it was overhit.

Time seems to be running out for Chelsea as McFarlane also goes into the book for contesting the length of time of Fulham throw in.

Jimenez gets a yellow for a foul on Tosin.

Traore is on for the potential winning goalscorer Wilson, as five minutes of added time are given.

It's all go here.

Both sides look inches away from another goal. But will it be an equalizer for Chelsea or a game-ender for Fulham?

Another corner for Chelsea after Neto goes wide because of a deflection. The first is cleared easily, but opens a chance for another corner.

James takes this one, as its given to Neto, who gives it back to James but fails to convert.

And if Chelsea did not need any more last-minute shocks, Reed is now on to perhaps deliver another worldy after this weekend's performance. He comes on for Smith-Rowe in the midfield.

He does it again. After trying all night Wilson gets his chance.

The low volley is deflected off the underside of James and bounces into the net, scraping past Sanchez.

Jimenez tries to get his second as he throws two quick headers at Sanchez, one hits the woodwork before finding a second angle, which Sanchez prevents by throwing himself at it.

And inject they have, Fulham are now back on the attack, with James preventing a Wilson shot by himself at the ball to block it.

This game is far from over as Wilson takes another shot from close range, which is deflected by Sanchez into the foot of Kevin, who takes another shot from outside the box.

It was only a matter of time for Chelsea, despite the early setback. The last 10 minutes have seen them have a number of shots at goal, with Leno being there to receive every one.

Fulham have sent on Lukic and Sessegnon to replace Cairney and Robinson and inject some new energy into the flagging team.

Delap gets the equaliser from the corner to get his first Chelsea goal!

These set pieces have been causing Fulham problems all night, but this one was a nightmare.

Delap receives a Robinson's rebound and turning and striking directly into the left corner.

From every angle now, Palmer goes to the right hand corner but is denied again by Leno on a tight angle, coming off Leno's foot for another corner.

Which is headed back out to safety.

Neto takes the next as they go again for goal.

Chelsea are putting the pressure on now, as Caicedo takes a shot on target, but it goes straight into the hands of Leno.

SUBSTITUTION

Fernandez is now off he is being replaced by James for Chelsea.
