As the 2020/21 Premier League season reaches its climax, Chelsea were looking for a win against Fulham to boost their chances of a top 4 finish. However, the Blues were left disappointed as the match ended in a goalless draw. The result has dented Chelsea's ambitions of securing Champions League football next season, with the Blues now sitting three points off fourth-placed Liverpool.
The match began with both teams looking to take the initiative, but it was Fulham who had the first real opportunity when Ivan Cavaleiro saw his effort saved by Edouard Mendy in the 11th minute. The Blues responded soon after with Mason Mount having a shot blocked by Ola Aina, while Timo Werner was denied by Alphonse Areola moments later.
The second half saw Chelsea take control of the match, as they had more of the ball and created more chances. Werner was again denied by Areola, while Callum Hudson-Odoi and Mount both had shots blocked by the Fulham defence. The Blues were unable to find a way through, however, and the match ended in a frustrating 0-0 draw for the home side.
The draw has seen Chelsea's stuttering form continue, with the Blues now having won just one of their last five Premier League matches. The result puts pressure on Thomas Tuchel's side to pick up three points against Leicester City in their next match if they are to keep their slim hopes of a top four finish alive.
It was a disappointing result for Chelsea, but they will be hoping to get back to winning ways against Leicester City on Tuesday. The Blues need to put in a much better performance if they are to have any chance of securing Champions League football for next season.
