Football is the only sport where karma doesn’t just come back around, it runs full speed in boots and scores in stoppage time.
And Chelsea? They just turned the Premier League into a live Hollywood remake: “What you give is what you get!”
When the past repeats in HD
Back in December 2024, Chelsea were left in shock when Fulham stormed Stamford Bridge and walked away with all three points, in dramatic fashion.
Chelsea led early through Cole Palmer, only to watch helplessly as Fulham did late-minute madness with goals in the 82nd and 90+5th minutes.
Fast-forward to today… Same script, different location.
Fulham scored first. The crowd at Craven Cottage was already preparing another heartbreak playlist for Chelsea fans.
But guess what? Chelsea pulled out the Uno reverse card.
George equalized in the 83rd minute. Then, like a Nollywood village chief chasing debt, P. Neto struck in the 90+3rd. Instant karma.
Coincidence? The universe thinks not
Even the football gods were laughing. The timing of the goals was almost identical, Fulham must have felt like they were watching a replay but from the wrong side this time.
Somewhere in the commentary booth, both Peacock and other streamers had the same prophetic question: “Could it happen again?”
It did. And how!
Revenge: best served cold with added stoppage time
Chelsea fans didn’t need to say much. The scoreboard said it all:
Both games ended 2-1.
Both had late winners.
Both had the fans screaming: “Wait, haven’t I seen this before?”
Football writers couldn’t script it better. Even Netflix should consider buying the rights to this rivalry.
Fulham fans right now: Is this what we did?
You know when you prank someone and then they do it back to you, but with extra seasoning? That’s how Fulham fans must be feeling.
The silence in the stands after the final whistle was loud like a generator going off during a Champions League night.
And Chelsea? Oh, they walked off the pitch smiling and laughing at each other.
Final thoughts: football never forgets
Football is not just a sport — it’s a memory bank. And Chelsea remembered everything. They waited for their chance, and when it came, they delivered a poetic 2-1 response with the precision of a petty ex.
Today wasn’t just about winning a match. It was about balance and justice.
