Chelsea came from behind to spare their blushes against west
London neighbours Fulham and restore their lead at the Premier League
summit to five points.
Zoltan Gera gave Roy Hodgson's side a fairytale start at Stamford
Bridge when he struck after just three minutes and Fulham looked
comfortable for the first hour.
But then Chelsea moved through the gears and were rewarded with
two goals in two minutes with Didier Drogba notching the equaliser
before the pressure forced defender Chris Smalling to concede an
own goal.
It was a cruel blow for Fulham who defended heroically until the
Blues' onslaught began to take its toll.
