Chelsea secured a vital 2-1 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage, with Pedro Neto scoring a dramatic late goal. After falling behind to Alex Iwobi's 20th-minute strike, Chelsea turned the game around with two second-half goals from substitute Tyrique George and Neto. George, at just 19, made a notable impact just minutes after his introduction. This win marked Chelsea's first away victory since December, boosting them to fifth place in the Premier League standings, while Fulham struggles continue as they failed to convert a strong start into points.
Fulham had taken the lead in the 20th minute through Alex Iwobi, with the midfielder's low drive picking out the bottom corner after Reece James had his pocket picked.
Teenager George needed just five minutes after being introduced into the action to make an impact, rifling a first-time finish beyond the grasp of Bernd Leno.
Neto's injury-time stunner, timed at 93:21, is Chelsea's latest winning goal on record in a Premier League London derby (since 2006-07).
