Fulham V Chelsea: 30/9/01 1 - 1
- half time 0 - 1
- full time 1 - 1
Terry got a yellow early and minutes later should have been off after a clumsy challenge that the referee turned a blind eye to.
Chelsea scored when an inspired run into the Fulham box drew two defenders and left Haaselbank unmarked to slot in an easy goal.
Fulhams goal in the second half had saha head against the post and hayles followed up nicely.
Much jubilation in the Fulham end!
Though they tried to close quickly, Chelsea weren't a patch on Arsenal, ant were very dirty. They frustrated Fulham (and the fans) with deliberate delaying tactics as they knew how keen we were to win this. When one finally got sent off (no.10) he took an age to leave the pitch.
The ref let de goey take forever over every kick, and often held up play to attempt to position the ball where a free kick /throw in should take place, the chelsea players took their time & still play the ball from advantageous positions.
I'm not an anti-chelsea fulham supporter, for me growing up QPR where the rivals, but they are a nasty cheating side and right now I'd absolutely love to beat them...
7 games 7 points. We deserve better than this. At some point our bad luck must run out and we'll start taking the 3 points we deserve from games.
