LONDON - Fulham manager Marco Silva hailed his substitutes for once again coming off the bench to score in his side's first win at Stamford Bridge in 45 years on Dec 26.
The Cottagers won the English Premier League clash against Chelsea 2-1 with a goal in the 82nd minute from Harry Wilson and another deep into stoppage time via Rodrigo Muniz.
By contrast, Blues boss Enzo Maresca faced questions about why he did not shake up his team more decisively as the west London derby slipped out of their control, and why England winger Noni Madueke was not even in the squad.
After Cole Palmer put Chelsea ahead in the 16th minute, Wilson equalised late in the game, a quarter of an hour after coming on, and fellow sub Muniz grabbed all three points for the visitors in the 95th minute.
