The English Premier League’s second round started with intense clashes. In the first match, Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, in the London derby away against West Ham, achieved an unexpectedly big victory.
The score was opened by the home team. In the 6th minute, Paquetá struck accurately into the Aristocrats’ goal and delighted the stands. However, this goal only further inspired Chelsea’s players.
Soon after, João Pedro equalized in the 15th minute, and Pedro Neto brought his team ahead in the 23rd minute. In the 34th minute, a precise shot by Enzo Fernández made the score 3–1.
At the start of the second half, Chelsea increased the pressure again. Moisés Caicedo scored the team’s fourth goal in the 54th minute, and five minutes later Trevoh Chalobah also found the net. Thus, the Aristocrats secured a confident 5–1 victory.
For the fans, this was not only a result but also great satisfaction from the performance. Under Enzo Maresca, Chelsea showed attacking football, and collective harmony was clearly visible in every goal.
It should be reminded that Chelsea will play their next match on August 30 against Fulham. This derby is also expected to be especially exciting for the fans.
