A late strike from Rodrigo Muniz stole all three points for Fulham as they handed Chelsea 1-2 defeat in London derby.
The Blues had hosted Fulham at the Stamford Bridge for Premier League Boxing Day fixture.
With Everton holding them to goalless draw last week, Chelsea hoped to return to winning ways against Fulham as Cole Palmer’s 16th minute stunner put them into an early lead.
Maintaining their 1-0 lead, Chelsea advanced to the second half in quest to seal the game with another goal.
The host’s efforts were however denied by Fulham’s goalkeeper, Bernd Leno, as he kept alive the visitor’s hope for a comeback.
Eventually, the visitors would punish Chelsea’s wastefulness as Harry Wilson pulled a 82nd minute leveller for Fulham.
Fired up, Enzo Marecsa-led Blues charged towards the visitor’s goal in search for winner.
Things would however take a different twist for the dominant Chelsea side as Fulham latched on an injury time counter-attack.
Sasa Lukic created a goal scoring opportunity for Rodrigo Muniz who latched the ball past Chelsea’s goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, to give Fulham their first win against the Blues at the Stamford Bridge in over three decades.
