68' Reed is replaced in midfield by Cairney. H. Wilson B. De Cordova-Reid 68' Turning to fresh legs, as Fulham go for the win against 10-man opponents, Silva makes a double change. First, De Cordova-Reid makes way for Wilson. 66' Using all his years of experience, Willian cleverly buys a foul from Chalobah on the left wing and earns Fulham a free-kick. However, from the inswinging set-piece, Ream can't steer his header at goal and Chelsea ultimately get the ball away to safety.
Adarabioyo Yellow Card 84' For time-wasting by delaying a free-kick, Adarabioyo is shown a yellow card. 83' Having opened the scoring against his former club today, Willian is offered some warm applause upon his substitution; Solomon will be his replacement. 82' Chukwuemeka's throughball from midfield almost picks out Havertz on the edge of the area, but it runs just behind the Chelsea forward and Leno can then boot the ball away. 80' Finally, Mount makes way for Ziyech, as Chelsea adopt an all-or-nothing approach for the final 10 minutes. 79' Gallagher replaces Kovacic in midfield for the visitors.
40' SAVE! Again, Leno keeps Fulham level! Havertz spins his marker inside the area before releasing the ball for a lurking Joao Felix, and the Chelsea new-boy thuds a low, hard shot at goal; forcing the goalkeeper to dive down and repel his attempt. 38' Havertz skips past Robinson on the right side of Fulham's area, before Ream gets a touch on Azpilicueta's driven shot and deflects it behind for a corner. Nothing comes of Chelsea's latest set-piece opportunity, however. 37' After a brief delay for Palhihna to receive treatment following Chalobah's late tackle, the game gets back under way.
Chelsea are still 10th and sit 10 points adrift of the top four before hosting Crystal Palace on Sunday. After 16 years, Fulham finally defeat Chelsea, and the Cottagers ascend to sixth in the Premier League table by beating their 10-man neighbours. The visitors spurned some chances and Leno was on hand to make several saves, before Joao Felix's dismissal handed the initiative to the home side - and Fulham never looked back.
