Marco Silva’s superb work at Fulham has been illustrated by the manner in which they earned fully deserved draws at home to Arsenal and away at Liverpool in recent weeks.
Fulham are a potent combination of quality, energy and relentless ambition and that was all on show here as they were undaunted by going behind to Palmer’s superb early strike.
It was no surprise when Wilson equalised, Fulham then preying on Chelsea’s growing anxiety to snatch that late winner from Muniz.
Silva raced down the touchline to celebrate with his backroom staff, the Portuguese manager’s positive attitude and coaching acumen central to this superb performance.
Fulham keeper Leno played his part, with crucial saves from Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez either side of the break – as well as keeping Chelsea out in a frantic late goalmouth scramble.
This was no Fulham rearguard action, however.
Chelsea keeper Sanchez plunged bravely at the feet of Antonee Robinson as the Fulham left-back looked poised to equalise.
Fulham did not have long to wait for Wilson’s equaliser, at the Wales midfielder made the sort of late impact he has perfected this season as exemplified with two goals in the similar late turnaround win against Brentford at Craven Cottage.
Muniz’s winner sparked ecstatic scenes among Fulham’s players and supporters – and no-one can begrudge them the celebration on this evidence.
In a thrilling London derby, Fulham pulled off a stunning late comeback to secure a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Rodrigo Muniz was the hero for the visitors, scoring an injury-time winner to seal all three points.
The match started off with Chelsea dominating possession and creating several chances, but it was Fulham who took the lead against the run of play in the 25th minute through Ivan Cavaleiro. The visitors defended resolutely and held onto their lead going into the halftime break.
Chelsea came out firing in the second half and finally found the equalizer in the 75th minute thanks to a goal from Mason Mount. The Blues pushed for a winner, but it was Fulham who had the final say as Muniz scored a dramatic late goal to snatch victory from Chelsea’s grasp.
The result will come as a huge blow to Chelsea’s hopes of finishing in the top four, while Fulham will take great confidence from their performance as they continue their bid to avoid relegation. It was a dramatic and memorable night in West London as Fulham claimed a famous victory over their local rivals.
