Fulham 'constantly on the front foot'

Former Premier League goalkeeper Joe Hart told Match of the Day that Fulham's tactics paid off in their well-deserved derby victory over Chelsea: "Five defenders on the team-sheet is not something Fulham do a lot. You could have been forgiven for thinking they would come with a defensive mind.

"Timothy Castagne and Antonee Robinson were in the team to push Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto back. Chelsea did look good in the first half and Fulham were just finding their feet. You can read the stats and see it was two late goals for Fulham, but they were so threatening and constantly on the front foot. That is what I loved about them.

"It was end to end but Fulham fully deserved the win."
