Chelsea kept their Champions League hopes alive as they won 2-1 at Fulham. The Blues trailed after 20 minutes when Alex Iwobi drove a left-footed shot home from 18 yards.
However, 19-year-old Tyrique George levelled matters with his first Premier League goal in the dying minutes. Then, as the clock ticked past 90 minutes, Pedro Neto sealed the points with a stunning strike.
Express Sport bring you the verdict on the Chelsea players….
Chelsea player ratings vs Fulham (4-2-3-1)
Robert Sanchez: 6
Harsh to blame him for the goal, but again failed to convince. Was safe on crosses but his distribution was lacking. Surely heading for the exit door this summer.
Reece James: 4
An awful day for the ex-England right back. Criminally gave away possession for the Iwobi goal and was regularly caught out positionally. Understandably hooked at half-time.
Levi Colwill: 5
Was given the runaround by Raul Jiminez and lacked assurance in the air. Twice, he got away with weak headed clearances.
Trevoh Chalobah: 7
Solid if not spectacular. Made one crucial first-half clearance and unlike Colwill, looked comfortable on the ball.
Marc Cucurella: 5
Offered himself frequently in attack but was also too frenetic in possession. Deservedly booked for a senseless foul on Harry Wilson.
Enzo Fernandez: 6
Was slow to track back for the Iwobi goal and cut a frustrated figure in the second half. His transfer fee continues to look extortionate.
Moises Caicedo: 8
Again, impressed while players around him floundered. Broke up numerous Fulham attacks and got his side moving in attack. Him staying fit is critical to Chelsea’s Champions League hopes.
Noni Madueke: 5
Threatened with one early run but then faded badly. Another player taken off at the interval.
Cole Palmer: 5
The worrying form continues. Produced a weak effort with one first-half shot and then sliced a chance horribly wide after the break.
Pedro Neto: 9
Chelsea’s best performer. Gave Kenny Tete a torrid time in the first half and instigated most of the away attacks. Missed a glorious chance to level by shooting straight at Leno from point blank range – but then made up for it with his superb winner.
Nicolas Jackson: 5
The question marks over whether he is the man to lead the line for Chelsea remain. His stumbling display was summed up by one second-half attack, finding himself in acres of space space down the left before wasting the chance with a poor pullback pass. Botched three half-chances of his own.
Subs:
Malo Gusto (for Reece James, HT): 7
At least looked willing after coming on. Tested Leno with one long-range shot and was always looking to get on the ball.
Jadon Sancho (for Noni Madueke, HT): 5
If today was another chance to prove he’s worthy of a permanent deal, he didn’t take it. Passive in possession and failed to impact the contest.
Tyrique George (for Jackson, 78): 8
The super-sub Chelsea needed. A superb strike for his first league goal.
Tosin Adarabioyo (for Gusto, 89): N/A
Thrown on late on when Gusto got injured but barely featured.
