For the first time in Premier League history, Fulham emerged victorious from Stamford Bridge, with a 2-1 win over Chelsea.

The Blues started Boxing Day strong with a beauty of a goal by Cole Palmer to open the scoring in the 16th minute. The hosts looked dangerous in the opening half hour, but they weren't able to increase their lead.

The script flipped in the second half. Fulham returned from the dressing room and began to take control of the game. Despite both teams trading chances, the visitors looked like the better team for the remainder of the night. Finally, in the 82nd minute, Harry Wilson tied the game with a goal that had been brewing the entire second half.

Chelsea had a chance to regain the lead, but Bernd Leno denied Jadon Sancho a minute before stoppage time. When the draw appeared to be cemented, Fulham caught Chelsea's defense on the back foot and Rodrigo Muniz scored the winner in the 95th minute, sending the visiting fans into a frenzy.

It's the first Fulham victory away at Chelsea since 1979 and Marco Silva's men now find themselves eighth on the table, equal on points with reigning champions Manchester City. For Enzo Manresca's Blues, it's a worrying defeat given the manner in which the team looked in the second half. Chelsea have now dropped points in consecutive games and could be overtaken in the standings by Arsenal if Mikel Arteta's side beat Ipswich Town on Friday.
