The course of the match
Chelsea was shocked by West Ham’s goal in the seventh minute through Declan Rice. Referee Chris Kavanagh ruled out the goal because Rice was already in an offside position when he received the ball.
Three minutes later, Chelsea were able to open a 1-0 lead. Thiago Silva broke Lukasz Fabianski’s net after returning home from a Mason Mount corner kick.
Until the game has been running for 20 minutes, West Ham has not been able to open fire. David Moyes’ team is busier to reduce pressure from Chelsea.
Aaron Cresswell had a good chance to break Chelsea’s goal in the 25th minute. Receiving a breakthrough bait, Cresswell from the left side stabbed straight into Chelsea’s penalty area. He fired a shot that was still off target.
Chelsea have not been able to create opportunities after scoring a goal. Frank Lampard’s team tends to have trouble getting into West Ham’s penalty area.
West Ham slowly took control of the game. The Hammers played short passes to get into the final third of Chelsea’s defense.
West Ham put a lot of pressure on Chelsea with crosses. However, until the 40th minute, there was only one precise cross.
Chelsea had a golden opportunity in the 43rd minute. Pulisic dribbled in front of West Ham’s penalty area and then passed it to Timo Werner. Werner fired point-blank, but was countered by Fabianski’s foot. The 1-0 scoreline lasted until the break.
West Ham tried to hit early in the second half. Sébastien Haller fires a shot from inside the penalty area in the 47th minute, but the ball remains outside the goal.
Angelo Ogbonna’s turn as West Ham defender who wasted opportunities. Receiving the ball from a free kick, he fired a shot from close range whose direction had not yet reached the target area.
Thiago Silva is very tough in aerial duels. He manages to head from a corner in the 62nd minute, but has yet to score.
Chelsea managed to increase the lead to 2-0 in the 78th minute. Tammy Abraham was released from the offside position by receiving a pass from Werner and immediately polished the ball rolling in front of Fabianski.
Two minutes later, Tammy Abraham dialed again. He managed to score a goal after catching a wild ball that was blocked by Fabianski. Chelsea lead 3-0.
