Understandably, Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo was not the most popular person at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night.
Chelsea travelled there to face Fulham in the Premier League, losing 2-1 to Marco Silva’s men after Harry Wilson’s late winner.
Adarabioyo left the Cottagers for their west London rivals in the summer of 2024, which is why he got such a bad reception.

Fulham copy Tosin Adarabioyo’s ‘levelled up’ social media post
After Chelsea beat Fulham 2-0 at Stamford Bridge back in August, Adarabioyo took to X to share a post that simply said “levelled up”.
That clearly did not go down well with Fulham, who posted the exact same thing on their X account following Wednesday night’s victory.
Since the reserve fixture, Adarabioyo has not been able to say much on social media, with the 28-year-old having a difficult season.
What does Liam Rosenior have to do to get the best out of Cole Palmer?
A very mixed performance against Fulham…

His appearance against Fulham was only his sixth start in the Premier League this term. His last came away at Leeds United and did not end well.

Why Tosin Adarabioyo will still have the last laugh
Right now, things are obviously not going to plan for Adarabioyo. However, the former Fulham man’s first season at Stamford Bridge is one that he will never forget.
Chelsea qualified for the Champions League in the 2024/25 campaign, but they also won both the Conference League and Club World Cup.
At Fulham, Adarabioyo was unable to win anything. At Chelsea, he became a world champion after just one season. Ultimately, while the ex-Manchester City academy talent may not be playing regularly now, his decision to leave Fulham for their west London rivals has already been justified.
He should not worry too much about what his former side are doing on social media.
