Chelsea were stunned by a late Fulham comeback as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

A moment of magic from Cole Palmer put Chelsea ahead early on. The England international weaved his way through two defenders and stroked home an incredibly casual finish beyond Bernd Leno to put his side into the ascendancy.

Levi Colwill had a header ruled out for offside, but Fulham came roaring back with real endeavour. Robert Sanchez needed to make an excellent save to deny Antonee Robinson, but he was helpless to stop Harry Wilson creeping in at the back post to head home an equaliser nine minutes from time.

Five minutes into stoppage time, Rodrigo Muniz found himself all alone in the penalty area to nab a memorable winner and snatch all three points for the Cottagers.
