It was the same old story for Chelsea on Thursday evening. Some promising moments in attack were overshadowed by some catastrophic moments in defence.
Up until Willian opened the scoring for Fulham against his old club, Chelsea looked assured and actually – for once – dangerous in attack. This was helped by Joao Felix making his debut. The 23-year-old showed bags of potential before he was sent off for a reckless challenge on 58 minutes.
When Willian did score, though, which was not helped by a couple of errors from Trevoh Chalobah, Chelsea looked rattled and their defence started to crumble. An all too familiar story for Blues supporters watching from around the world.
