Substitute Rodrigo Muniz scored the winner late in six minutes of stoppage time as Fulham made a stunning late comeback to stun Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea looked to keep up the pressure on Premier League leaders Liverpool as they defended the lead given to them by Cole Palmer's fluid strike in the 16th minute.
However, Fulham never took a step back and were rewarded in the most dramatic way with two late goals as Chelsea's title aspirations suffered a serious setback.
Marco Silva's substitutions at Fulham worked to perfection, first when Harry Wilson headed an equalizer after 82 minutes before Muniz sent a low finish past Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez.
Chelsea never felt comfortable, even after Palmer's strike, his 26th Premier League goal of the calendar year, breaking Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's Chelsea record in 2001.
Fulham were ruthless in pursuit of at least a point and got full value for their ambition, securing their first win at Stamford Bridge in 45 years.
