Chelsea's Champions League aspirations received a much-needed boost after a thrilling 2-1 away win at Fulham, with Pedro Neto's 93rd-minute strike completing a dramatic fightback. The victory marked Chelsea's first away league win of the year and sparked wild celebrations among the players and fans. The win was sparked by the introduction of 18-year-old academy product Tyrique George, who equalized in the 83rd minute. George's impact was immediate, and his goal gave Chelsea the momentum they needed to secure the win. Neto's late goal sealed the victory, sending the 3,000-strong away support into raptures. The win has leapfrogged Chelsea rivals Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest to return to the Premier League top five, a spot that would earn the club qualification for the Champions League next season. However, despite the win, Chelsea's top-five bid remains on a knife edge, with several concerns still lingering. Chelsea's forwards remain a cause for concern, with Cole Palmer still stuck on a 16-game goal drought. Striker Nicolas Jackson has not found the net in 13 matches, while Jadon Sancho's strike against Ipswich last week was the first by a Chelsea forward in the league since February 25. Neto's goal was his first in eight matches. Additionally, Chelsea's injury list continues to grow, with defender Malo Gusto suffering a muscular injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for an extended period. Wesley Fofana and Marc Guiu are already on the injury list, while winger Mykhailo Mudryk is provisionally suspended following a failed drugs test. Despite these concerns, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca was bullish about his side's season, saying, "Chelsea in the last two years have never been in the Champions League spot, and this season we spent the whole season there. Today doesn't change my view; it is already a good season and can become very good if we finish in the Champions League spot." Maresca also praised Tyrique George, saying, "I'm very happy for Tyrique. He and Josh Acheampong are good talents, and they have to work hard." Maresca's decision not to celebrate with the away end was a deliberate choice, allowing his players to bask in the glory of their win. The win has given Chelsea a much-needed boost in their quest for a top-five finish, but the road ahead will be challenging. With several tough matches coming up, Chelsea will need to maintain their momentum if they are to secure a Champions League spot.
