Here's what Martin Lipton made of that one:
"Top of the league but there's not a lot else for Chelsea to shout about. Indeed, this a game that was all too familiar for those who remember how Jose Mourinho's first spell ended.
"That Fulham keeper David Stockdale would get the ''real'' assist for Oscar's scruffy opener says plenty and the look on Roman Abramovich's face, captured by the television cameras on both sides of the break, was priceless.
"Chelsea were better in the second half but could scarcely have been worse, although Fulham, who wasted great chances early in each period through Darren Bent and Steve Sidwell, were.
"Mind you, after more than seven seasons, it was good to see John Obi Mikel - ''he scores when he wants'' sang the home fans - finally netting his first Premier League strike.
"You know what? I think Chelsea might have done with someone small, inventive Spanish and with a beard. Someone like.....well, someone like Juan Mata. Wonder what he was doing this evening."
