From the beginning of the game, Fulham showed good performance. In the third minute of the first half, Sessegnon began a counterattack. Tete took over and crossed, but Chelsea's defense couldn't clear it. Pereira pushed the ball that Sessegnon caught and handed over again. However, the score was not recognized due to offside.

Chelsea failed to target Fulham's defence early in the game. James' free-kick shot in front of the goalkeeper in the 14th minute of the first half was the most threatening.

Fulham scored the first goal first. In the 20th minute of the first half, Sessegnon brought the ball under pressure. He went up with the ball himself and poked the pass to Iwobi. Iwobi's sharp shot penetrated goalkeeper Sanchez.

Chelsea needed a counter-attack but never produced a threatening scene. It was the first half of Silva's complete victory in a tactical battle with Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea left out Madueke and James at the start of the second half and put in Jade Sancho and Malo Gusto. It was a trend for Chelsea to succeed in turning the mood around.

In the 11th minute of the second half, Jackson received a cross and gave it to Netu. Netu's decisive shot, which received the pass, came out, but Leno threw himself and blocked it.

Chelsea's mood is starting to fade a little bit. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Palmer boldly dug in and finished it himself, but sent the ball into the sky.

Chelsea managed to equalise. In the 38th minute of the second half, Tyreek George delivered the pass accurately. George saved Chelsea with a clean finish.

Chelsea looked to score for a last-minute upset. Netu's shot was given to Leno in the 41st minute of the second half. Fulham could not withstand Chelsea's last-minute offensive. He missed the net in the penalty box in extra time in the second half. Netu's fantastic turning shot hit the net properly. Fulham have dedicated three points to Chelsea at home.

Silva, who suffered a humiliating defeat, is likely to be appointed to Tottenham in recognition of his performance at Fulham. Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou is reported to be dismissed even if he wins the Europa League, and Silva is a leading candidate along with Brentford manager Thomas Frank.
