Chelsea hosted Fulham at Stamford Bridge in the 21st round of the English Premier League.

The teams played a rather uneventful first half, with perhaps Petrovic's save after Wilson's dangerous shot being the only notable moment. In injury time, just when it seemed like the teams would head into halftime without goals, Chelsea earned the right to take a penalty. Diop fouled Sterling inside the Dachniks' penalty area, and Palmer calmly executed the verdict.

The guests did not create anything truly dangerous in front of the Aristocrats' goal in the second half, and frankly speaking, they didn't play for a draw. On the contrary, Chelsea looked more likely to score again. As a result, a fair minimum victory for the Blues.

It's worth noting that Chelsea has won three consecutive matches in the Premier League. In the league table, Pochettino's team has climbed to the eighth position, while Fulham sits in 13th place.
