Chelsea has not won a league game since the turn of the year 2023, and has lost just one of its last eight league games (three draws and four losses). The visitors started the match with Joao Felix, whom they had just announced on January 11 as a deadline-day signing.

The seventh postponed game of the Premier League season took place on January 12, with Fulham and Chelsea playing each other.

In the 25th minute, Willian cut in from the left of the penalty area and shot with his right foot, which hit a defender and went wide of the goal. The goal came in the 25th minute when Willian cut in from the left side of the penalty area, hit a defender, and fired home.

Chelsea chased the game, and in the 47th minute, Kalidou Koulibaly finally managed to equalize after a set-piece. However, Denis Zakaria was forced to make an injury substitution in the 56th minute, and J. Felix was sent off in the 58th minute for a dangerous sliding tackle.

With ten men, Chelsea lost the game in the 73rd minute when Carlos Vinicius scored the winning goal. The visitors then made four substitutions, but were unable to score.

The game ended as it did. With the win, Fulham moved up to sixth place in the league standings, having won their first league game against Chelsea since March 2006 and their first four-game winning streak in the league since 1966. Chelsea, in 10th place, lost their third straight league match and had not won in four games.

Fulham will play away to Newcastle on January 15, while Chelsea will play at home to Crystal Palace on the same day.
