A dramatic stoppage-time goal from Rodrigo Muniz saw Fulham claim a stunning 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, a result that finally brought to an end the Blues’ 12-game unbeaten streak across all competitions.
Chelsea entered the match in search of closing the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool but were undone by a spirited Fulham side enjoying a record-breaking campaign. The hosts took the lead in the 15 minutes through Cole Palmer, who weaved past defenders before slotting home his 12th league goal of the season, to seal his status as Chelsea’s standout performer in 2024.
Undeterred, Fulham responded resolutely. Calvin Bassey tested Robert Sánchez before halftime, while Marc Cucurella was denied a second for Chelsea by a super Bernd Leno save. The Blues dominated early in the second half, but Levi Colwill’s goal was ruled offside. Fulham continued to threaten as Alex Iwobi and Antonee Robinson drew close.
Until that point, Chelsea had never seriously looked like scoring, yet the pressure finally told in the 87th minute as Harry Wilson nodded home Rodrigo Muniz’s header. Deep into stoppage time, Muniz struck the killer blow, finishing off a counter-attack to seal Fulham’s first win at Stamford Bridge since 1979.
The result is a dent in Chelsea’s title hopes, while Marco Silva’s Fulham continue their impressive form, losing just once in 10 league games.
