Chelsea about to host for the second time of the season after they play draw against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge, few minutes from now Fulham will be playing their second away game of the season after they hosted Manchester United and Bristol City with one win and a draw, these games show how good they are at home but nothing can be say because they are playing with Chelsea, who we all know they have improved. This match will be very tough because both teams haven't lose a game.

It's HT and Chelsea is leading Fulham 1-0, it was a tough HT for both side Fulham played well though Chelsea goal came unexpected it was already at the finishing time 45 minutes has gone and the extra time given was much so Chelsea took it as an advantage to have a goal, I still believe in Fulham to do better when the second half begins they have been a good team this season they have 2 of their previous game lets watch if they can get a draw against Chelsea today.

Luck came to the aid of Chelsea on the last minutes of additional time. Jao Pedro got a header to put Chelsea on the lead to end the first half 1-0. Since Chelsea has taken the lead, that will motivate them to play better in the second half. Fulham looks tough though. Maybe, they will equalize the goal in the second half.

With the way Fulham played in the first half, nobody believed Chelsea could still score a goal in the first half and take the lead, so I agree that luck came to the aid of Chelsea in additional time. Even when Chelsea scored in the first half, I was looking forward to Fulham equalizing in the second half to earn a point, but Chelsea added another goal in the second half to take their lead to 2-0, and it's now difficult for Fulham to equalize.

Chelsea wasn’t just lucky to win the game but they were assisted and helped by VAR, The Fulham goal that was disallowed wasn’t a foul, how can a goal like that be disallowed it was obviously not a foul, and the goal scored by Joao Pedro was obviously a handball and I don’t know how VAR could say that was a goal. I’m so disappointed with the VAR and the referee how they’ve badly officiated this game, it was an awful decision making from the match official and the referee should’ve stayed away from that decision.
