Chelsea midfielder Oscar reportedly told club officials that he was going to walk home after his side's clash against Fulham as opposed to travelling in the team bus.

The Premier League title challengers kept their four-point advantage at the top of the table following a 3-1 win over the Cottagers on Saturday.

As the Brazilian's apartment is situated close to Craven Cottage, the 22-year-old is said to have decided to walk home instead of joining his teammates on the coach.

Sky Sports News reporter Andy Burton wrote on Twitter: "A 1st for me covering the Premier League. Have just seen Oscar tell officials he doesn't need to find the team bus as he's walking home!"

The Blues will take on Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
