So close to a late equaliser for Fulham right at the end but Chelsea hold on for a narrow lead into the break.

Lookman’s delivery is headed away by James but Robinson puts the ball back in the area for Ola Aina.

The defender’s strike takes a wicked deflection that almost wrong-foots Mendy but the Chelsea keeper somehow re-adjusts to keep it out.

The loose ball just evades Decordoba-Reid who is following up for the rebound and the home side survive.

Kai Havertz’s first Stamford Bridge goal since October is the difference between the two sides.

But Chelsea could have also been further ahead with Hakim Ziyech guilty of missing a golden chance to double their lead.
