Fulham Stuns Chelsea, United Falters Again, Newcastle Dominates Villa

Posted : 27 December 2024

The Premier League’s traditional Boxing Day fixtures delivered high drama, with Fulham achieving a historic 2-1 comeback victory over Chelsea in the West London derby. Cole Palmer gave Chelsea an early lead in the 16th minute, but second-half substitutions proved decisive for Fulham.

 

 Harry Wilson equalized in the 82nd minute, and Rodrigo Muniz scored the winner deep into stoppage time, ending Fulham’s 45-year winless streak away against Chelsea. The result leaves Chelsea trailing in the title race, while Fulham climbed to eighth place, equaling Manchester City’s points tally.

 

Elsewhere, Manchester United’s struggles deepened as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Wolves. Bruno Fernandes was sent off early in the second half, marking his third red card of the season. Wolves capitalized on United’s defensive lapses, with Matheus Cunha scoring directly from a corner before setting up Hwang Hee-chan for the second goal. The defeat drops United to 14th place, while Wolves have rejuvenated their campaign under new manager Vitor Pereira, moving above the relegation zone.

 

Nottingham Forest continued their remarkable form with a narrow 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Anthony Elanga’s 28th-minute goal secured Forest’s fourth consecutive win, propelling them to third place temporarily. Tottenham, meanwhile, are in freefall, with four losses in their last five matches, raising questions about Ange Postecoglou’s future as manager. Jed Spence’s red card in stoppage time compounded Spurs’ woes, leaving them entrenched in the bottom half of the table.

 

Newcastle rounded off the action with a commanding 3-0 win over Aston Villa. Anthony Gordon opened the scoring in the second minute, followed by Alexander Isak’s seventh goal in five matches, and Joelinton’s late strike in injury time. Aston Villa’s chances diminished after John Duran’s red card for a reckless challenge on Fabian Schär. The victory lifts Newcastle to fifth place, showcasing their strong form as they aim to secure European football.
