Chelsea have been held to a draw in a London derby after a costly goalkeeping error from Robert Sánchez allowed Fulham's Josh King to score a soft equaliser.
The Chelsea shot-stopper was at fault for the goal, with his poor performance proving decisive as Fulham capitalised on his mistake to level proceedings. King needed little invitation, taking full advantage of the blunder to find the net and deny Chelsea what could have been a winning result.
The error will heap further pressure on Sánchez, whose performance drew sharp criticism. Conceding in such circumstances — gifting an opponent a straightforward opportunity — is the kind of mistake that can prove particularly damaging at the highest level of the game.
