Chelsea were just seven minutes away from a ruined season and falling out of the Champions League race, as Fulham led for over an hour and sat in eighth place — a position that could potentially secure European competition next season. But the Blues rallied in the final moments and secured a comeback victory that lifted them above the struggling Nottingham Forest into fifth place in the Premier League — 2:1 (0:1).This Pedro Neto goal hit like crackkkkkkkkpic.twitter.com/Xexag52BRb— 🇳🇬 Seun Olatunji 🇬🇧 (@seunsocials) April 20, 2025 The home side had everything in their hands up until the 83rd minute, leading through a goal from Alex Iwobi in the 20th minute after a disastrous mistake by Reece James on his own half. However, Enzo Maresca benched the right-back at halftime, and somehow managed to shake the team into life, which completed a turnaround late in the match. Two very similar goals in the 83rd and 93rd minutes came from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto, both scoring precise shots from the edge of the box to beat Bernd Leno. George struck first-time after a rebound, while the Portuguese winger reacted well following a fine run by Enzo Fernandez, controlling the ball and hitting it on the half-volley to beat Fulham’s keeper.⚽️ GOAL: Tyrique George🏴 Fulham 1-1 Chelsea pic.twitter.com/TbbS93nv3p— Frankline Knight 🇰🇪 (@frank620Knight) April 20, 2025 Chelsea moved into fifth place, ahead of Nottingham Forest thanks to a better goal difference. Next weekend, they face Everton at Stamford Bridge, where they’ll need to confirm their quality and ambition. Fulham, on the other hand, after two straight league losses, must beat already-relegated Southampton away or say goodbye to European football.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 33SaturdayBrentford – Brighton 4-2 (1-1)/Mbuemo 9, 48, Wissa 58, Norgaard 90+5 – Welbeck 45+3, Mitoma 81/Crystal Palace – Bournemouth 0-0Everton – Man.City 0-2 (0-0)/O’Riley 85, Kovacic 90+3/West Ham – Southampton 1-1 (1-0)/Bowen 47 – Ugochukwu 90’+3/Aston Villa – Newcastle 4-1 (1-1)/Watkins 1, Maatsen 64, Burn (og) 73, Onana 75 – Schar 18/SundayFulham – Chelsea 1-2 (1-0)/Iwobi 20 – George 83, Neto 90+3/Ipswich – Arsenal 0-4 (0-2)/Martinelli 28, Trossard 14, 69, Nwaneri 88/Man.Utd. – Wolverhampton 0-1 (0-0)/Sarabia 77/18:30: (12.0) Leicester (6.50) Liverpool (1.22)Monday22:00: (2.55) Tottenham (3.50) Nott.Forest (2.85)***odds are subject to change***
