LONDON — Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Fulham on Friday as Graham Potter’s side again lacked a clinical touch in front of goal.
Kai Havertz missed a trio of chances in the first-half as Chelsea were frustrated by a resolute, counter-attacking Fulham side. Noni Madueke went close late on, when he showed skill in rounding goalkeeper Bernd Leno only for Tim Ream to block his shot on the line. A brief show of late pressure from the home side did not prove enough to break the deadlock.
The result means Potter’s side remain ninth in the table as they failed to leapfrog Fulham, who remain two points ahead of local rivals Chelsea in sixth.
