Chelsea have returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 2-0 triumph over West London rivals Fulham.
Pedro put Chelsea ahead as early as the fourth minute, but Fulham proved to be a match for their more illustrious opponents for much of the game.
However, a late strike from Ruben Loftus-Cheek sealed the points for Chelsea as they kept their place in the top four of the standings.
Find out how all of the action unfolded in England's capital courtesy of Sports Mole's minute-by-minute updates below.
CHELSEA SUBSTITUTES: Caballero, Fabregas, Loftus-Cheek, Zappacosta, Willian, Christensen, Morata
FULHAM SUBSTITUTES: Bettinelli, Kebano, Ayite, Ream, Bryan, Cisse, Kamara
Fulham are bottom of the standings, and a draw would not be enough to move from that position. However, three points would lead to the Cottagers progressing up to 17th spot.
