    Chelsea opened up the scoring early through England international Cole Palmer, but two late goals from the Cottagers stunned the second place side in the Premier League. A Harry Wilson header in the 82nd minute brought them level, before a stoppage-time winner from Rodrigo Muniz handed them all three points to extend their unbeaten streak to six matches.

    On the winner, Robinson delivered the initial ball into the box that eventually found Muniz, as the American played a vital role in securing the victory.

    Defensively, he recorded three clearances; two of which were defensive headers. In addition, he had five recoveries and committed three fouls, one of which earned him a yellow card in the 91st minute after he wrestled Pedro Neto to the ground.
