Chelsea were stunned by a late Fulham comeback as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.
A moment of magic from Cole Palmer put Chelsea forward early. The England international weaved his way through two defenders and slotted an incredibly fortuitous finish past Bernd Leno to put his side ahead.
Levi Colwill had a header ruled out for offside, but Fulham came roaring back with real effort. Robert Sanchez needed to make a superb save to deny Antonee Robinson, but he was powerless to stop Harry Wilson creeping in at the back post to score the equalizer nine minutes from time.
Five minutes after the break, Rodrigo Muniz found himself alone in the penalty area to grab a memorable winner and grab all three points for the Cottagers.
