Chelsea's resilience was on full display in their dramatic 2-1 victory over Fulham, climbing to fifth in the Premier League. Fulham initially led after a goal from Alex Iwobi, but Chelsea turned the tide with a quick succession of goals from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto. Neto's late goal at 92:31 set a record for the latest winning goal in a Premier League London derby. He emphasized the essential qualities of character and spirit that fueled the teamâs performance as they turn their focus to the next match against Everton.
"I think it could be a big part of the season for us. We showed character. To be honest, I have no words," Neto said.
"It is not easy to spend all season in the top four and we were out before this game. The character the team showed, we now need to think about Everton."
"When I received the ball, I just span around and shot as hard as I can. The ball went in."
"The first one, Leno did an unbelievable save and I was so frustrated that the second one I had to put all the power into the shot."
