Chelsea 1-0 Fulham – HALF TIME

That’s the end of the first 45 minutes, and the hosts have the lead thanks to Palmer’s penalty.

It was still a terrible half of football from the Blues, who created one clear chance.

But Diop’s rash tackle gave Sterling the chance to go down in the box and Palmer made no mistake from the spot.

The Cottagers are still well in the game and will know they can hurt Pochettino’s men.
