Chelsea boosted their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League after a dramatic late turnaround against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Fulham took the lead in the 20th minute when Alex Iwobi scored, finishing a chance created by Ryan Sessegnon, who overpowered Chelsea captain Reece James to set up the goal.
For most of the match, Chelsea looked on course for another disappointing result. But the mood shifted in the 83rd minute when 19-year-old Tyrique George came off the bench and fired in a sharp strike from the edge of the box to level the score. The comeback was completed in stoppage time as Pedro Neto smashed in a powerful shot, securing all three points for the Blues.
This hard-fought win was only Chelsea’s sixth in their last 17 Premier League matches. However, it was enough to push them above Nottingham Forest into fifth place on goal difference. Forest are set to play Tottenham on Monday.
In another key fixture, Manchester United’s struggles at home continued. A heavily rotated squad failed to impress, and Wolves made the most of their opportunity. The only goal of the match came from Pablo Sarabia, who curled in a superb free-kick with 13 minutes left. It was enough to give Wolves their fifth straight Premier League victory.
The result drops United to 14th place, tied on points with Wolves, who now sit just below them in 15th due to goal difference.
