LONDON -- Deep in stoppage-time, Chelsea were frantically defending a single-goal lead with five at the back and no discernible presence up front against a team without a win at Stamford Bridge since 1979. These are desperate days for manager Mauricio Pochettino and his young side. Holding on for a 1-0 victory over Fulham may feel like a fall from grace compared to the club's halcyon days, but Pochettino has to believe that tiny acorns will grow into mighty oaks.

Cole Palmer continues to resemble Chelsea's biggest individual hope.
