Chelsea Defeat Fulham Amid Refereeing Controversy
Striker Joao Pedro continued his fine scoring form as Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory over London rivals Fulham at Stamford Bridge, in a match overshadowed by controversial refereeing decisions.
Pedro, who joined the Blues from Brighton for £55 million this summer, headed home in first-half stoppage time to register his fifth goal in just five starts across all competitions. Midfielder Enzo Fernandez extended Chelsea's lead in the second half after calmly converting a penalty.
However, the spotlight shifted to referee Robert Jones, whose officiating drew criticism from both sets of supporters. Several contentious calls—including the penalty decision—sparked heated debates on the fairness of the game's outcome.
While Chelsea fans celebrated a much-needed win, Fulham players and supporters were left frustrated, believing key decisions had gone against them.
The result strengthens Chelsea's momentum as they push further up the Premier League table, while Fulham will rue missed opportunities and debatable refereeing moments.
