Carlos Vinicius (Mitrovic, ‘90) - N/A. Layvin Kurzawa (Pereira, ‘90) - N/A. Tom Cairney (Reed, ‘90) - N/A. Getty
CHELSEA RATINGS: Kepa Arrizabalaga - 6. Provided a vital hand to turn Pereira’s well-struck effort behind. Got away with a clanger of a clearance when he smacked the ball straight into the same man. Getty
Reece James - 6. A welcome return to the starting XI for the defender who was the recipient of some neat switches from Fernandez. Arrowed a cross into the box that forced Tete into action, but was withdrawn on the hour-mark. AP
Thiago Silva - 8. Cut through the Fulham defence when he clipped a lovely ball over the top that was raced onto by Havertz, but Leno made a fine stop and it wouldn’t have counted anyway. Did just enough to put off the lurking Mitrovic and see off Reid’s cross. EPA
Benoit Badiashile - 6. Had Fulham defenders panicking with a direct ball over the top, but otherwise an average display to end a disappointing week that saw him left out of Chelsea’s Champions League squad. Still, a clean sheet nonetheless. AFP
Marc Cucurella - 5. Beaten all too easily by former Chelsea man Willian who skipped past him before pulling the ball back to a teammate. Got an important block in the way of Pereira’s strike but that was about it. AP
Enzo Fernandez - 7. A tidy display from the debutant who produced some majestic long-range passes and ruffled the feathers of Mitrovic. Picked out Mount with an X-rayed pass and curled a beauty of a strike wide of Leno’s right post. AFP
Conor Gallagher - 6. Not his best display, but he was inches away from breaking the deadlock late on when he hit the side-netting. Played a lovely one-two with James only to smack the resulting corner into the first man, and he was booked for lunging in on Pereira. EPA
Hakim Ziyech - 5. A surprise return to the starting XI following his deadline-day disappointment. He produced a decent display and some calculated deliveries, but he sliced wide after a surging run forward and was substituted early in the second half. Getty
Mason Mount - 7. Seemed to be at the heart of every Chelsea attack in the first half. Moved the ball quickly and was inches away from finding Havertz with a precise low pass having plucked the ball from the air with a gorgeous touch. Getty
Mykhailo Mudryk - 5. Looked bright without really causing a problem. Pinned Fulham back in spells with his pace, but his attempted return pass to Mount drifted out for a goal-kick and his teammates failed to pick out a couple of his blistering runs. Getty
Kai Havertz - 7. The German international could only divert over the bar on the stretch before dragging another narrowly wide moments later. Desperately unlucky to see his lifted effort come back off the woodwork after a stunning run in behind. AP
SUBS: Cesar Azpilicueta (on for James, ‘60) - 6. Added some vital experience at the back as James’ return came to an end. Getty
Noni Madueke (on for Mudryk, ‘45) - 7. Replaced the £80 million man after an indifferent first-half display. Showed bags of energy and enthusiasm in a confident performance that dragged Chelsea up a gear. Getty
Raheem Sterling (on for Ziyech, ‘60) - 7. Added some much-needed intensity and was a whisker away from finding Mount with a threaded pass. Almost caught out Leno with an audacious, last-gasp curling effort that just lacked a bit of pace. EPA
David Fofana (on for Mount, ‘75) - N/A. Ben Chilwell (on for Cucurella, ‘84) - N/A. PA
FULHAM RATINGS: Bernd Leno - 6. Commanded his area superbly to claim a tricky in-swinging Ziyech delivery and denied Havertz's first-time flick before the flag went up. Bailed out by the robust Ream after a moment of madness saw him rounded by Fofana. Getty
Kenny Tete - 9. The defender was always looking to storm forward on the counter and produced a peach of a ball to find Willian at the back post, while he denied Madueke an almost certain goal at the other end with a crucial header. AFP
Issa Diop - 6. Put on the floor by Fofana’s graceful footwork with Fulham hearts pounding, but otherwise it was a steady display from the centre-back who was good value for his clean sheet. Getty
Tim Ream - 9. The skipper led by example in a resolute display against Chelsea’s stars that included a terrific toe to thwart Havertz, who was looking to attack a first-time ball from Mount, before he cleared Fofana’s effort off the line. Getty
Antonee Robinson - 7. Issued a warning sign when he knocked the ball past his man and turned on the afterburners, but the ball just about snuck out of play before he was able to deliver his cross. Getty
Harrison Reed - 8. Ran his socks off as the Blues struggled to break their spirited opponents down. As tenacious a display as you’ll see all season from the battling midfielder. EPA
Joao Palhinha - 8. Broke up the play superbly and played some tidy stuff too, but he picked up his eighth booking of the season for a late challenge on Mount. Yellow card aside, it was an excellent display from the Portugal man. EPA
Bobby De Cordova-Reid - 7. Almost picked out Mitrovic with a low cross as the visitors started the second half brightly. Became the third Fulham man to go into the book for holding back Sterling and couldn’t squeeze his effort past Kepa from Willian’s pass. AP
Andreas Pereira - 6. Forced the first big save of the night when he stung the palm of Kepa with a powerful effort from the edge of the area. Saw yellow for going straight through Cucurella with a late challenge and hobbled off in stoppage time. Getty
Willian - 8. Looked like the Willian of old. Caused Cucurella problems when he beat the ex-Brighton defender on the right and picked out Tete, and drew a decent stop from Kepa after the break. Played like a man ten years his junior in a tireless Fulham display. Getty
Aleksandar Mitrovic - 7. Couldn’t quite bring Willian’s headed pass under his spell as he looked to hit one on the spin right in front of goal. Lacked his usual sharpness, but nearly scored a screamer when he took aim from just past the halfway line with Kepa scrambling. EPA
