“LET Him Pack his things and Leave I don’t want to see him in my Club Again, He couldn’t defend the ball and didn’t score an open Net and caused the Secon Goal”- Chelsea interim Head Coach Calum McFarlane has instructed CHELSEA FLOP to leave the Club with immediate effect after Shocking defeat to FULLHAM United this evening

Newly appointed Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior watched proceedings from the stands as Harry Wilson’s brilliant strike secured victory for west London rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage, condemning his new team to defeat.

 

Rosenior’s appointment came too late for him to take charge on the touchline, leaving him in an observational capacity, and he may well have sensed difficulties ahead when Marc Cucurella was shown a red card early in the contest.

 

Chelsea fell behind to a Raul Jimenez header in the 55th minute, but Liam Delap drew them level from close range after the ball ricocheted back to him off the left post from a corner, following Antonee Robinson’s near own-goal.

 

With just nine minutes remaining, Wilson skillfully worked space past Jorrel Hato just inside the penalty area before executing a sublime half-volley into the bottom left corner, beating Robert Sanchez comprehensively.

 

Under the temporary stewardship of caretaker boss Calum McFarlane, Chelsea faced a daunting task from the 22nd minute when Cucurella dragged down Wilson and was dismissed for what officials judged to be a professional foul.

 

This represented Chelsea’s eighth sending-off of the season, including one for former manager Enzo Maresca, who was sanctioned for overzealous celebrations following a dramatic late winner against Liverpool in October.

 

Discontent was evident among the visiting supporters, with a ‘BlueCo out’ banner prominently displayed and chants condemning the ownership echoing around the away section, all within earshot of those same owners sitting alongside their newly appointed manager Rosenior.

 

The defeat sees Chelsea drop to seventh position in the Premier League table, slipping below Brentford, while Fulham move level with them on 31 points from 21 matches.

 

**Fulham analysis: Wilson’s extraordinary transformation**

 

It seems almost incredible that Welsh forward Wilson was struggling to secure regular playing time at Fulham not so long ago, yet has now established himself as one of the Premier League’s most dangerous attacking threats.

 

The former Liverpool player was a constant menace to Chelsea throughout, testing their goalkeeper repeatedly during the opening exchanges before his clever movement enticed the foul from Cucurella that produced the red card and fundamentally altered the match dynamics.

 

Wilson thought he’d broken the deadlock with a powerful low drive just before the break, only to see it cruelly ruled out because Raul Jimenez had mistimed his run in the build-up play.

 

However, Wilson proved to be Fulham’s most potent attacking outlet after the restart and ultimately delivered the decisive goal with an exquisite first touch followed by a clinical right-footed finish.

 

Home supporters serenaded Wilson moments after he completed his on-pitch interview, and their appreciation was entirely justified.

 

Since the beginning of November, only Manchester City’s prolific striker Erling Haaland (12) has recorded more Premier League goal contributions than Wilson (10 – consisting of six goals and four assists).

 

During this remarkable spell, Fulham have been transformed from relegation battlers into genuine candidates for European qualification.

 

**Chelsea analysis: A concerning portrait for Rosenior**

 

Confirmed in his role on Tuesday, Rosenior had no opportunity to conduct a training session or properly prepare the team for this fixture, forcing him to observe from the directors’ box.

 

What he witnessed—and indeed what he heard—will surely give him cause for concern moving forward.

 

Anti-ownership chants were directed at those seated in his immediate vicinity, alongside vocal criticism of the sporting directors running the club’s football operations.

 

The mood had been optimistic beforehand, with Rosenior meeting his new squad following Tuesday’s training session before accompanying them to Craven Cottage. He even participated in a pre-match television interview before settling into his seat.

 

Cucurella’s dismissal would have provided him with a stark reminder that Chelsea desperately require proper guidance and structure to avoid falling short of their ambitions this season.

 

Lack of discipline has been a persistent and glaring problem, and in the immediate aftermath of the red card, yellow cards for dissent were brandished to Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, and Tosin Adarabioyo.

 

Five of Chelsea’s player dismissals this campaign have occurred in league fixtures, leaving them just one short of their Premier League record for a single season—six in 2007-08—and there remain 17 matches still to navigate.

 

**What’s on the horizon for both sides?**

 

Fulham will welcome Middlesbrough to Craven Cottage for their FA Cup third-round encounter on Saturday (15:00 GMT). They then travel north to Leeds for a Premier League fixture at Elland Road the following Saturday (15:00 GMT).

 

Chelsea, now under Rosenior’s guidance, will visit Charlton Athletic at The Valley for their FA Cup third-round tie on Saturday (20:00 GMT). They then host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge for the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final next Wednesday (20:00 GMT) before returning to Premier League action with a home fixture against Brentford on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
