Chelsea player ratings vs Fulham: Pedro Neto screamer secures late derby win as Maresca's substitutes shine | OneFootball

A pair of late Chelsea goals denied Fulham a first-ever league double over Chelsea

A pair of stunning late goals from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto secured a comeback victory for Chelsea at Craven Cottage.

The result will alleviate some of the pressure on Enzo Maresca, who nailed his tactics and changed the game with his substitutions in the second half.

Here’s how Enzo Maresca’s side rated at Craven Cottage...

Robert Sanchez 5

Took 67 seconds for his first iffy pass. Fine thereafter and no fault for the goal.

Reece James 3

Started at right-back for the first time in two months but robbed by Sessegnon for the opener. Hooked at half-time.

Trevor Chalobah 6

One vital header in the six-yard box soon after Iwobi’s strike to prevent a second Fulham goal. Clip led to equaliser.

Levi Colwill 4

No answer to Jimenez’s superb hold-up play. Booked.

Marc Cucurella 5

Might have continued his scoring knack if not for Robinson block, but given a hard time by the excellent Sessegnon. Booked.

Struggling: Cole Palmer

Moises Caicedo 4

So visibly frustrated that he allowed unnecessary petulance to creep into his game. Booked.

Enzo Fernandez 4

Put on a show of leadership with gesticulations from first minute but unable to influence the game.

Noni Madueke 5

Positive whenever given chance and probably unlucky to be the one sacrificed at half-time.

Cole Palmer 5

Nothing’s coming easily to the playmaker at the moment. Blazed one half-chance so far wide it might have missed a second goal.

Pedro Neto 7

Missed a glorious chance to equalise once switched to the right, but chest inadvertently set-up George before lashing a stunning late winner.

Nicolas Jackson 4

Still feeling his way back to fitness but looks a shadow not only of the player of earlier this season, but even of the wasteful, chaos-maker of last term. Now 13 games without a goal.

Equaliser: Tyrique George

Substitutes

Malo Gusto (James 46’) 5

On at half-time but off injured before the end.

Jadon Sancho (Madueke 46’) 6

Has had a decent week. Chelsea looked better balanced with him on the left.

Tyrique George (Jackson 78’) 7

Left to the teenager to equalise with fine strike.

Tosin Adarabioyo (Gusto 89’) N/A
