The 2-1 result sees Chelsea leapfrog into fifth place

Chelsea kept their Champions League hopes alive with a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over local rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage, thanks to two late goals in a thrilling London derby.

The hosts took the lead midway through the first half when Alex Iwobi capitalised on a defensive lapse to slot home the opener. The Blues struggled to break down Fulham’s compact shape for much of the match, but showed resilience and character when it mattered most.

It was 19-year-old forward Tyrique George who sparked the comeback in the 84th minute with a stunning strike from the edge of the box — his first-ever goal in the Premier League. Then, deep into stoppage time, Portuguese winger Pedro Neto sealed all three points with a composed finish on the turn, sending Chelsea fans into raptures.

The 2-1 result sees Chelsea leapfrog into fifth place in the Premier League table as they intensify their push for a top-four finish and a return to Europe's elite competition.
