Chelsea lost an Premier League match, leading until the 82nd minute, for the first time since October 1999
Chelsea unexpectedly lost to Fulham in the home match of the 18th round of the Premier League (1:2).
‘Pensioners’ went into the break with an advantage thanks to a goal by Cole Palmer. However, in the second half, the Pensioners completely turned the game around, scoring twice after 82 minutes and celebrating the victory at Stamford Bridge.
Interesting fact: Chelsea lost a Premier League game while leading until the 82nd minute for the first time since October 1999. Back then, Chelsea led until the 83rd minute against Arsenal, but lost 3-2, with Nwankwo Kanu completing a hat-trick.
By the way, it was Fulham's first win at the Chelsea Stadium since way back in 1979. And accordingly the first away over a London rival in the Premier League.
Reminder: After 18 rounds, Chelsea are second in the APL, four points behind Liverpool. But the Blues have already played two more games.
