Chelsea staged a thrilling 2-1 comeback win over Fulham with late goals from George and Neto, boosting their Champions League hopes.
Chelsea staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage on April 20, 2025, bolstering their pursuit of Champions League qualification.
Fulham took the lead in the first half with a goal from Alex Iwobi. However, Chelsea responded in the second half, with 19-year-old Tyrique George equalizing in the 85th minute. Pedro Neto then secured the victory with a stunning volley in stoppage time, assisted by Enzo Fernández.
The win moves Chelsea up to fifth place in the Premier League standings, keeping them firmly in contention for a top-four finish. Despite the victory, the match was marred by an injury to defender Malo Gusto, who was substituted late in the game due to a hamstring issue.
Manager Enzo Maresca praised his team's resilience and emphasized the importance of the win in their quest for Champions League football next season.
Chelsea will look to maintain their momentum as they face Everton next in the Premier League, followed by a Conference League semi-final against Djurgardens on May 1.
