Chelsea beat Fulham with a late winner - Maresca: This is a game we must win


In the focus match of the 33rd round of the 2024/25 Premier League, Chelsea reversed Fulham 2-1 after leading by one goal with goals from Tyrrick George and Pedro Neto. Maresca said that this was the most difficult victory to win and a game that must be won.


Sessegnon intercepted the ball and made a cross in the 20th minute, and Iwobi received the ball and pushed the ball into the goal from the penalty area, helping Fulham take the lead 1-0.


In the 83rd minute of the second half, Pedro Neto headed the ball to Palmer who tried to stop the ball but could not touch it. Tyrick George got the ball and shot it in, helping Chelsea to tie the score at 1-1. In the stoppage time, Enzo received Palmer's pass and crossed it to the middle. Pedro Neto turned around and shot the ball into the goal, helping Chelsea to overtake 2-1.


In the end, Chelsea defeated Fulham 2-1 in this West London derby.


Chelsea coach Maresca said in an interview, “This may be the most difficult victory for us this season because other opponents have already finished the game, and this is a game that must be won. I think after conceding the goal, we played more difficultly, which is why we struggled, but our performance in the second half became better.”


"I'm very happy, first of all because it feels great to win in the final moments, but it's more of a moment for the players and they should share this victory with the fans. When we scored the second goal, I celebrated a bit and was shown a yellow card. But it was a great moment for the players and the fans and, as I've said many times, the players need to feel supported."


In addition, Maresca also said, "I am very happy for Tyreek George. He and Josh Acheampong were both promoted from our youth training. This is because they are indeed talented, and they still need to continue to work hard."
