Chelsea deserved more against Fulham, believes caretaker boss McFarlane - Soccer News
"I do, yeah. Fulham had a lot of control and passages of play, but we worked hard. We had opportunities to counter. Liam had a big chance. Until the last nine minutes, I was confident we could draw or even nick a win. It's a tough game. The red card is a big factor and changes our gameplan. We did that well other than the first goal. We reacted really well."
"Despite their numerical disadvantage, Chelsea dominated proceedings for much of the second half and came close to scoring on several occasions through Delap, Jorrel Hato and Moises Caicedo. In the second half we had so many opportunities and moments. I'm really glad for Liam to get that goal, it's been coming. But then Harry Wilson shows a bit of quality in the box and it decides the game."
Chelsea lost 2-1 to Fulham after Harry Wilson scored an 81st-minute winner following Marc Cucurella's straight red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. Liam Delap equalised after Raul Jimenez opened the scoring, but Fulham regained the lead late with an expert finish from the right side of the area. Despite being reduced to ten men, Chelsea dominated much of the second half, created several clear chances through Delap, Jorrel Hato and Moises Caicedo, and reacted strongly after the dismissal. Chelsea have received five Premier League red cards this season, nearing their 2007-08 record.
