Kepa Arrizabalaga - Was wrong-footed by the deflection off of Trevoh Chalobah and could do little to prevent Willian's strike. The Spanish goalkeeper appeared to get caught between coming for the ball that allowed Carlos Vinicius to drop back and head in however. 4.
Trevoh Chalobah - The defender was unfortunate to see his attempted block send the ball into the goal but had two shaky attempts at headers before that point that allowed Fulham opportunities. The 23-year-old picked up a yellow card in poor first half outing. Improved slightly in the second period but lost track of Vinicius for the Fulham forward's header. 3.
Thiago Silva - The Brazilian veteran managed to bail the Blues out of a number of situations but may have hoped to direct his first half header on target. Had some less convincing moments but as so often was Chelsea's best defender. 6.

Kalidou Koulibaly - The former Napoli defender had the speed at which he can change direction exposed by the Fulham frontline. Managed to convert when it mattered for the Blues to score from close-range. 5.
Cesar Azpilicueta - Did not have the easiest assignment against his former teammate and was unable to show him onto his weaker foot for Fulham's opening goal. Had his work cut out but stuck to his job. 5.
Denis Zakaria - Did not have the timing of his tackles down in the opening stage of the match but covered plenty of ground in the midfield. Went down after releasing Kai Havertz in the second period and looked devastated to require a substitution. 5.
Mateo Kovacic - The Croatian international threw a number of shots at goal and showed some acrobatics but could not refine his accuracy when passing or shooting for much of the first half. Improved with Jorginho's introduction. 4.
Lewis Hall - Probably should have scored as soon as the second minute but maintained his composure when building play from the back. Had some issues with Bobby Decordova-Reid filling the space behind him but the 18-year-old was generally solid, though not quite to the level of his previous performances. 6.
Mason Mount - Showed some fleeting moments of finding space to challenge the opposition but struggled to impact the game often enough. It was his free kick that hit the post that sparked Koulibaly's goal however. 4.
Joao Felix - His first impact was to turn in his man and deliver a good ball in to Kai Havertz and he showed an array of flicks and passes to provide some hope for the Blues. The 23-year-old was unafraid to hit the target and looked to deliver everything the Blues have missed in recent months bar a goal. Produced a shocking challenge to earn a red card that will overshadow the positivity of his performance. 3.
Kai Havertz - The German forward showed moments of good link-up play with Felix and harried and hassled the Fulham defence on occasion. Did not have the final touch to polish of his performance to be a true consistent threat however. 6.
Subsitutes
Jorginho - Helped Chelsea's midfield to have some fluency on occasion but could not help the Blues wrangle control of the game. 5.
Marc Cucurella - The Spaniard had little time to make an impact as Chelsea laboured in the final 10 minutes of the match. 5.
Conor Gallagher - Attempted to create some opportunities but was largely fruitless in his efforts. 5.
Carney Chukwuemeka - May consider himself unlucky to not have started once again and looked to provide some promise but had little opportunity. 5.
Hakim Ziyech - Like his teammates struggled to lift Chelsea's performance to find a draw in the time they were on the pitch. 5.
