Chelsea fans at Craven Cottage sang ‘we want our Chelsea back’ as Graham Potter’s side lost 2-1 to Fulham in the Premier League on Thursday. This is the Blue’s third back-to-back loss, after losing twice to Manchester City first in the Premier League and then in the FA Cup.

Watch the moment here:
Chelsea has lost four out of their last six matches, won one, and drew one. They are currently sitting 10th in the league table with 25 points from 18 matches, but that might change as the match week progresses and Potter’s side might dip further down.
Rattled with injuries, Chelsea decided to start loan signing from Spanish Club Atletico Madrid, Joao Felix right away. But the 23-year-old showed some glimpses of his quality before being sent off on a double yellow card after a challenge with raised studs.

Fulham’s first goal was scored by Willian, the former Chelsea winger, while the second one was scored by Carlos Vinicius, the Benfica player who previously featured for Tottenham Hotspur under Jose Mourinho.
Chelsea’s only goal came via Kalidou Koulibaly in the 47th minute. The win at home now takes Fulham will up to sixth on the league table as their incredible league form this season continues.
Incidentally, Fulham is now above Liverpool in the table.
The West London club was missing their star striker Alexander Mitrovic, and in the three matches that they have played without Mitrovic, they have failed to win.
However, it was a different story on Thursday as they managed to edge past their West London rivals and get a well-deserved win.
