Chelsea 3-0 West Ham (1-0)

See Tammy Abraham’s first goal at the top!

Frank Lampard and Chelsea had three points to keep up with the rest of the teams at the top of the Premier League.

After defeats to Everton and Wolverhampton, it was a full-fledged Chelsea that faced David Moyes and West Ham.

The case is updated with reactions from Stamford Bridge!

Tammy Abraham had the opportunity early on, while Olivier Giroud was referred to the bench. An opportunity that the 23-year-old certainly took care of.

– It is not easy to get Olivier out after what he has done in recent weeks, but there are many games at the moment. I wasn’t sure if West Ham would put up with three or two midfielders, and then we opted for Tammy. I thought their movements would cause problems for them. There is nothing wrong with what Olivier has been up to lately, he performs every time he plays, says Chelsea manager Frank Lampard.

– This is what Lampard needed. He needed an answer after two losses, says TV 2 soccer expert Petter Myhre after the game.

Thiago Silva put Chelsea ahead

It was hardly an injury that was at the top of birthday boy Ben Chilwell’s wish list on Monday, but after ten minutes it was exactly what he got.

Despite the cold shower, there was luck in the accident for the home team. Usually it’s Chilwell and Mason Mount who take turns taking the corner kicks, and when the left winger was taken off, it was Mount’s silk foot cover.

30 seconds after the change, he had the opportunity.

The corner kick put the youngster perfectly on the head of Thiago Silva, who stormed into West Ham’s goal. The Brazilian headed the effective ball between the posts.

– The corner is a goal. It’s an old expression of the loop, but for Chelsea it’s true, TV 2 soccer expert Petter Myhre said during the break.

It was West Ham’s first corner kick this season, while for Chelsea it was the eighth (!) In which they scored.

The magic minutes of Abraham

In the second half, Tammy Abraham was honored to double the lead. Timo Werner had missed several important chances, but this time he passed the ball wonderfully to Abraham.

The Englishman was frozen when he directed the ball to the goal.

– My job is to help the team by scoring goals. It’s about getting to the right places, and I did it twice today, says Tammy Abraham after the game.

Two minutes later, Abraham was on the move again. Thus, the advantage was 3-0 for Chelsea.

“We knew we had to act today, and we did,” says the two-goal scorer after the game.

Just before the end, Timo Werner had a solid opportunity to score his first goal of the match, but only with the goalkeeper, he hit the ball off the crossbar.
