Chelsea inflicted heartbreak on an impressive West Ham by scoring three goals in the second half of the contest at Stamford Bridge to complete a 3-2 comeback victory and give Liam Rosenior a sixth win from seven matches in charge.
Rosenior had made seven changes to his starting XI from Chelsea’s previous outing and it didn’t work. The Blues were disjointed, poor and unable to assert any authority on the game. West Ham, through the combination of Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Wan-Bissaka caused real problems on the right wing and it was from here that the goals came.
Bowen scored the first from an attempted cross before Crysencio Summerville added a second after a cutback into the box.
Rosenior made a triple change at the break and the momentum swung in favour of Chelsea. Joao Pedro headed in Wesley Fofana’s cross before a diving header from Marc Cucurella brought the equaliser.
There was drama in stoppage time as Enzo Fernandez rattled in the winning goal before Jean-Clair Todibo was sent off for violent conduct in the last act of the game.
