Neto’s late screamer cancels Iwobi’s effort to keep Blues in UCL hunt


Chelsea stole a dramatic 2-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage, thanks to a stoppage-time strike from Pedro Neto that kept their Champions League hopes alive.

The visitors drew first blood through Alex Iwobi, whose sharp finish silenced the home crowd and stunned Enzo Maresca’s side.

However, the Blues found a response in the 80th minute, as academy product Tyrique George netted his maiden senior goal with a composed finish.

Just as the game seemed destined for a draw, Neto delivered a moment of brilliance, cutting inside before unleashing a thunderous strike that sealed all three points in dramatic fashion.

The result keeps Chelsea firmly in the race for a top-four finish, while Fulham are left ruing missed opportunities in a match they looked poised to take something from.
