Chelsea took the lead, but then Thiago Silva received a red card. That was just the beginning of adversity.
CHELSEA – WEST BROMWICH 2-5:
Manager Thomas Tuchel’s strong home stats with Chelsea in the Premier League exploded, as he sang against the last team West Bromwich on Saturday.
Before the deal, the German manager could be shown five straight games on his own turf without setbacks. It would be a full 674 minutes before the blue-clad defensive wall began to crack. Proper cracks.
And it happened against an opponent few could have imagined. West Bromwich has not charmed many with their football in the season back to the highest level, neither with Sam Allardyce nor with his predecessor Slaven Bilic.

But the football that the West Midlands Canarian gang invented at Stamford Bridge probably stunned most critics.
It is true that the WBA ended up behind goal control in London according to the recipe. But the outlook for the game changed completely after Thiago Silva was sent off without a head after half an hour of play.
– There are two types of games, 11 against 11 and 11 against 10. But there is no reason to conceal five goals when you have our quality. We are all in on this, including myself, Tuchel tells the BBC.
– Difficult to digest
– We couldn’t adapt to the situation, and it’s amazing how we lead. We were messy and we made big mistakes. Then we were severely punished, and it’s hard to digest, adds the Chelsea manager.
Up to five times, Chelsea had to watch the ball go into the net behind goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. Several of the scores were excellent, after a very good passing game and the use of spaces on the field.

Matheus Perieira scored the first two goals, both in first-half overtime. Callum Robinson scored 1-3 just under 20 minutes after the break. The same man put the final score at 2-5 behind.
Meanwhile, Mbaye Diagne also found her way to the net behind Mendy.
– When you attack Chelsea for the first time, you do it correctly, commentator Peder Mørtvedt declared on TV 2 as the fourth goal entered Chelsea’s goal.
– They look like Barcelona here, West Bromwich. Huge football, continued to praise.
A Chelsea that was on the verge of being completely humiliated got together and created several good chances after 1-4.
Mason Mount first had a good chance that was avoided. The visitor Timo Werner took advantage of a misunderstanding between the local goalkeeper and the centrals after 71 minutes of the game. The German instead rolled the ball to the side and gave Mount an easy shot.
Expulsion
Thomas Tuchel made up to six team changes from the start that only went 0-0 on the road against Leeds on March 13. Among the players who had to give way to other forces were Kai Havertz, Mount, Ben Chilwell and N’Golo Kanté.
Werner, Mateo Kovacic, Marcos Alonso and Silva, meanwhile, were back in the league’s starting eleven.

The latter had a short day of work. Judge David Coote showed him the red card after just under half an hour. The Brazilian threw himself into Okay Yokuslu’s leg in an attempt to block a shot. That led to his second yellow of the day.
Coote showed no mercy to Silva and resolutely showed Chelsea’s experienced midfielder off the field. The dismissal came just after Christian Pulisic overtook the locals, on a lap after a Marcos Alonso free-kick that hit the post.
West Bromwich also had a fight in the first half. Chelsea veteran stopper Branislav Ivanovic (37) had to replace Dara O’Shea, 15 years younger, mid-inning.
Mannefall
O’Shea was injured after being tackled by teammate Matt Phillips.
After only 13 minutes on the field, Ivanovic also had to leave the pitch. He sat down after a racing duel against Werner. The Serbian appeared to have suffered a hamstring injury after avoiding an opportunity against Chelsea’s German forward.
In the second extra minute, Matheus Pereira and the WBA used the lead to score the first away goal against Chelsea under Tuchel’s lead. And the visiting striker was no less than another goal before the break.

Sam Allardyce’s men were messing him up on a home team post early in the second half. Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone didn’t impress on the field, but luckily for the recent England keeper, a teammate controlled Alonso’s attempts on and off. After that, most things continued to go wrong for West Brom.
Saturday’s strong three points give The Baggies little hope of survival in the Premier League. However, with 21 points in total, he is up to seven points ahead of Newcastle on safe ground. Among them is also Fulham with 26 points.
There are eight games left of the season for both West Bromwich and Fulham. The London team will play the first of them away against Aston Villa on Sunday. Newcastle will face Tottenham at home a little earlier in the day.
