Chelsea fans turn on Enzo Maresca with X-rated chant before Fulham comeback

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca had to endure x-rated chants from away fans before his side battled back to beat Fulham. The Blues were abject for much of the game at Craven Cottage, and trailed 1-0 at the break after Alex Iwobi struck for the hosts.

But with their Champions League hopes hanging in the balance, Maresca's side produced a dramatic finish. Tyrique George came of the banch to level with seven minutes left, the teenage levelling from outside the area. A rocket from Pedro Neto then sealed the points, taking Chelsea back up to fifth in the table.

By that point however, Chelsea fans had already made their feelings on the Italian manager known. They chanted "w***er" as he headed down the tunnel after 45 minutes, while the players were loudly booed.

It wasn't the only resentment that Maresca had to endure. The away contingent also sang Frank Lampard's name, implying they would prefer the club icon was back in charge.

Despite the three points, the win would have done little to quell speculation over Maresca's future. It was their first win in three league games after tame draws with Brentford and Ipswich, and a number of Chelsea's big players again underperformed.

Maresca was forced into taking off Noni Madueke and Reece James at half-time, while Cole Palmer was again below par. The decision to keep faith in Nicolas Jackson also backfired, the striker botching a series of chances before being replaced by George.
