Fulham, on the other hand, inflicted a “manita” on Nottingham Forest (5-0), with doubles from Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez as well as a goal from Tom Cairney, following having already scored three goals at Wolverhampton (3-2) then three others at Liverpool during their two previous meetings. The Londoners moved up to twelfth place with 18 points, one unit away from Brentford (11th, 19 pts) who lost 2-1 at Brighton.

The Scottish international saved his team thanks to a double (19th, 69th), while Cole Palmer equalized for the Blues. Mu moves up to 6th place, just three points behind its Mancunian neighbor, while Chelsea stagnates in the middle of the table (10th).
