Fulham defeated Chelsea at a sold out Kingsmeadow stadium for Monday night’s Premier League 2 clash.
The Cottagers won 3-0 against a strong Chelsea line-up.
Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, Ethan Ampadu and Trevoh Chalobah all came into the Chelsea XI. It marked Chukwuemeka’s first appearance since his move from Aston Villa.
A sliced clearance gave Luke Harris an easy finish past Ted Sharman-Lowe.
Just before half time he doubled the lead as he pounced on a loose clearance from the Chelsea keeper and drove his subsequent effort into the bottom corner.
He completed his hat-trick not long after the hour mark as he was the quickest to react to a Terry Ablade shot which was parried in the six-yard area.
