Pereira made a good effort in the middle of the field, before passing to Vinicius, whose attempt passed by the right post of Chelsea’s goal in the 8th minute.
Fulham fans demanded a penalty kick in the 16th minute, after a joint game between Vinicius and Zakaria, but the referee ordered them to continue playing after resorting to video technology.
De Cordova Reid got a pass from Vinicius, to fire a shot from the right, which bounced off the crossbar before the defense dispersed the ball in the 23rd minute.
Fulham managed to open the scoring in the 25th minute, when Willian got the ball, to fire a shot, which bounced off Chalobah’s foot and continued its march toward the far post of Kepa Arrizabalaga’s goal.
Chelsea almost wanted the goal quickly, but Leno blocked Felix’s attempt from a solitary position without being watched in the 28th minute, and the German goalkeeper returned to block this time, a powerful shot from Hull, despite it bouncing off a defender’s foot in the 34th minute.
