Goals from Willian and Carlos Vinicius secured a win for Fulham as they beat Chelsea 2-1.

Former Chelsea star, Willian, opened the scoring for Fulham in the 25th minute from a clumsy defending from Trevor Chalobah before Kalidou Koulibally bagged an equalizer two minutes into the second half.

The Graham Potter’s side was later reduced to 10 men in the second half after debutant Joao Felix was sent off for a reckless studs-up lunge on Kenny Tete before Carlos Vinicius headed the late winner after Kepa’s mistake.

The win moves Fulham above Liverpool and up to sixth in the Premier League standings on 31 points after 19 games.

Chelsea, who fell to their eighth league defeat this season and third consecutive loss in all competitions, are 10th in the table on 25 points from 18 matches.
