Overview

• Fulham’s early strike by Josh King was disallowed after VAR sent referee Rob Jones to the monitor, with Rodrigo Muniz judged to have fouled Trevoh Chalobah in the build-up.
• A second lengthy review penalised Ryan Sessegnon for handball, and Enzo Fernandez converted the resulting penalty to seal the result.
• Joao Pedro headed Chelsea in front on the stroke of half-time, continuing his bright start with a fifth goal in five starts since a £55m move from Brighton.
• Fulham and manager Marco Silva reacted angrily to the officiating as Jones twice overturned on-field outcomes following pitchside checks.
• Fulham striker Liam Delap left with a hamstring injury that reports say could keep him out for up to two months, while Chelsea coped with absences as academy forward Tyrique George featured.
