Maurizio Sarri's men took the lead in the 20th minute through Gonzalo Higuain who was assisted by Cesar Azpilicueta.

But the hosts restored parity eight minutes later through Calum Chambers who was superbly set up by former Liverpool star Ryan Babel.

Chelsea took the lead again in the 31st minute through Jorginho was benefited from an excellent pass by Eden Hazard as the first half ended in favor of the Blues.

The Blues eventually won the match 2-1 at Craven Cottage, but they remain in sixth position on the Premier League standings.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Chelsea fans frowned at Maurizio Sarri's decision to recall goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga into the Blues' first team for their Premier League game against Fulham.

The Spanish goalkeeper was dropped by Maurizio Sarri for Chelsea's last game due to how he refused to be subbed against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.
