Chelsea suffered a shock home loss to bitter rivals Fulham , conceding in the final stages of the game to lose 2-1. It is their first defeat at home to the Cottages in Premier League history and will be a huge blow to the title-winning aspirations. Things were going well for the Blues, with Cole Palmer opening the scoring with a fantastic solo goal.
However, Harry Wilson pulled things level in the 82nd minute. It looked as though the West London derby would end all square but there was one last twist in the tail. Fulham bombed forward with a late attack and when the ball was worked into the box, Rodrigo Muniz kept his cool to roll the ball home and give his side their first away win in the league at Stamford Bridge since 1979.
Understandably, Chelsea fans were fuming with the result and many online have directed their anger at one man in particular. Indeed, supporters have made it clear they are unhappy with Christopher Nkunku . Exclusive: Chelsea's stance on a January move for Karim Adeyemi has been revealed.
The French forward regularly comes off the bench, replacing Nicolas Jackson, and manager Enzo Maresco made that same old change yet again. Interestingly, the switch happened in the 73rd minute with the Blues winning – with the home team then suffering their collapse with the £195k-p/w star leading the line. Angry fans questioned why he was brought on for Jackson, saying: "Nkunku should be our rotation for Palmer, so obvious but so weird that Maresca keeps rotating hi.
