With a goal down the stretch from Mason Mount, Frank Lampard’s team saved 3 points at home.
After four defeats and a draw in the last six days, Lampard arrived with water up to his neck to this 19th day, to the point that a new setback could have ended the former English international out of Stamford Bridge.
The victory was not spectacular, on the contrary, against a rival in the relegation zone and by a single goal despite the fact that Fulham played the entire second half at a disadvantage due to the expulsion, just before the break, of Antonee Robinson.
But the three points give Lampard some oxygen and, above all, prevent Chelsea from hanging out of the fight for the Champions League positions, remaining in the provisional 7th place three points behind Manchester City (3rd) and Leicester (4th) , which mark the Champions League area for now.
