Chelsea’s recent slump continues as they dropped points for the second consecutive Premier League game, this time falling to Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day. Cole Palmer’s composed finish gave the Blues a well-deserved lead in the first half, but Fulham substitute Harry Wilson’s easy header late in the game leveled the scoreline ¹.
In a stunning turn of events, Rodrigo Muniz sealed the win for Fulham in stoppage time, leaving Chelsea four points behind Liverpool in the standings. The pressure is mounting, especially with Liverpool hosting Leicester City at Anfield later in the evening ¹
.To make matters worse, Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal are closing in, and a win against Ipswich Town on Friday night would see the Gunners leapfrog Chelsea in the table. The Blues will need to regroup and refocus to get their season back on track.
