In the London derby of the 24th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea put on a real supercambek show against West Ham United. The drama of the match was such that at one point the host fans had already managed to fall into the mood of "enough, let's go," and then everything turned upside down.
Early in the game, the visitors were very agile: in the 7th minute, Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring. At the end of the first half, Crisensio Summerville scored another goal, putting the Hammers ahead 2-0. In short, by the break, the situation seemed very difficult for Chelsea.
But in the second half, another Chelsea came on - high speed, strong pressure, and maximum confidence. In the 57th minute, Joao Pedro scored a goal and started the comeback. Shortly after, in the 70th minute, Marc Cucurella equalized - the stadium "awakened."
And the most interesting thing happened at the end. By the end of the match, both teams seemed content with one point, but in the 90+2nd minute, we could say Enzo Fernandez "stolen the game": the decisive goal - and 3:2 for the hosts!
Chelsea - West Ham 3:2
Goals: Joao Pedro 57, Cucurella 70, Fernandez 90+2 - Bowen 7, Summerville 36.
Chelsea: Sanchez, Gusto (James, 81), Caloba, Badiasville (Fofana, 46), Xato (Cucurella, 46), Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Gittens (Neto, 26), Palmer, Garnacho (Joao Pedro, 46), Delap.
West Ham: Areola, Van Bissaka, Todibo, Mavropanos, Diouf, Souček, Summerville, Fernandez, Bowen (Traoré, 81), Pablo (Kilman, 67), Tati (Wilson, 76).
With this victory, Chelsea reached 40 points and climbed to 4th place. West Ham United remain in 18th place with 20 points - the weather is heavy in the lower zone, and pressure is increasing with each round.
The conclusion is simple: even 2:0 in the derby isn't "safe." Especially if Chelsea turns on "now it's my turn" against you in the second half.
