Chelsea vs West Ham

8 min: Masuaku has taken a knock, and West Ham can'r really afford another injury though the full-back is OK to continue. Meanwhile, Ruben Loftus-Cheek cuts ...

And that’s why the Premier League is the best league in the world... Thomas Tuchel was not happy with the pitch after that Wednesday night loss to Arsenal, and the empty seats and lack of availability of programmes reminded that the club is in sanctioned stasis. But it’s OK to feel less tension in a normal match in the Premier League and a home match than if you go to the Bernabéu. It’s normal because it is maybe less tension, less excitement, less pressure. These are uncertain times at Chelsea. There’s the overnight news that Antonio Rüdiger is to depart the club, and Andreas Christensen to follow, and then there’s the mood around the place. So, Frankfurt is on David Moyes’s mind with those six changes, with Declan Rice is on the bench, as is Jarred Bowen and Michail Antonio. What of Chelsea? Malang Sarr and Romelu Lukaku are left out, little surprise after that Arsenal defeat in midweek. Werner then finds space on the left, and whips a ball to the back post that Havertz doesn’t get to. “It’s human to be tired, human to be more alert in a knockout game than a normal match. The empty seats lower down the stand remind of mid-1990s Chelsea so expect to see Paul Furlong, Mark Stein and John Spencer making their rounds. Yarmolenko and Fornals link and Kante has to run back to quell the danger. I remember at Mainz with one game a week and every game was like a cup final. 27 min: John Potter gets in touch: “Not sure your comment about the table and top 4 for Chelsea looking insecure stands up to scrutiny. 15 min: Thomas T is writing notes, and he doesn’t seem happy.

Chelsea claimed their first win at Stamford Bridge in four matches as Christian Pulisic struck late to secure a 1-0 victory for the Blues at Stamford ...

Introduced as Chelsea searched for a goal to break the deadlock, Pulisic delivered in the dying minutes as he guided a cross from Alonso into the corner. In the second period, Werner came close to opening the scoring with an effort that hit the side netting, and he was then denied by Fabianski from close range. The England international came into the game in good form but lacked a little of his usual energy, as was the case of the majority of his teammates. The 31-year-old tried to inject some pace into Chelsea's attacks in the second period, and one drive forward resulted in a shot being well held by Lukasz Fabianski. 6 The academy graduate was moved over to right wing-back with Reece James out injured and started the game promisingly with a couple of nice moments in possession. It was a similar story in the second half for the Senegal international, but he was forced into a good low stop when Andriy Yarmolenko broke into the area and got a shot away.

Match report and highlights as Christian Pulisic nets a late winner for Chelsea just moments after Jorginhos awful penalty nearly let a much-changed West ...

I think a lot of players in the squad who haven't played did really good job. From concerns over a misfiring front line, Chelsea suddenly seem to have plenty of attacking options with the FA Cup final looming. Replacing a front three that was just starting to click into gear was a bold move but come full-time, the German's tweaks were justified. Small things in football make the difference, but he [Jorginho] could have still scored and it was 11 v 11." But the German manager accepted that the Blues' display before that was a bit lethargic and that their recent home form impacted them in this match. Moments later, Mount got down the left and fed Marcos Alonso in the box with a cutback, but the Spaniard mishit his shot and it bounced wide. But West Ham provided a reminder of the threat they posed on the bench. "He has a certain style of shooting when he scores. We have to wait for the moments. Said Benrahma picked the pocket of Cesar Azpilicueta, unusually playing on the left of a back three, before firing a shot straight at Edouard Mendy from a tight angle. Meanwhile, West Ham's confidence at the other end of the pitch was growing. The Hammers, who made six changes before kick-off including placing Declan Rice, Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen on the bench, can now look towards Thursday's Europa League semi-final with Eintracht Frankfurt after missing the chance to leapfrog Manchester United in fifth spot.

Chelsea 1-0 West Ham: The match looked destined for a stalemate until a late Dawson red card led to a flurry of key moments.

As for West Ham, the deflation of defeat in such a fashion won’t last for long. With wave upon wave one way, this was more Chelsea’s to win, and so Tuchel introduced the cavalry of Pulisic, Ziyech and Lukaku with 16 minutes to go. It was another miss for club and country in 2021-22, but it was not to prove costly. But this was much of the same from those in blue: slow build-up from the back, a lack of dynamism in the final third, devoid of spark or creativity. On as a second-half substitute, Pulisic timed and adjusted a run into the box to get on the end of Marcos Alonso’s cut-back, after Mason Mount had carried the ball forward in desperation. Understandable, given West Ham have something bigger to play for than capital bragging rights, with Thursday’s meeting with Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-final of the Europa League carrying far greater cache and reward than the league.

The Blues managed to score late against the Hammers to secure a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

On the rare occasions West Ham found themselves out of shape, Chelsea counters often fizzled out through a lack of ideas.” With that said, the UK media has reacted to the victory and here’s a look at what they thought. The Guardian discussed the game, claiming the Blues were unconvincing: “Jorginho’s run was stuttered, unconvincing.

Beating Chelsea is always sweet, especially so if it's a freakish Arthur Masuaku effort that wins it, but victory will also provide precious momentum for the critical period ahead. Their 4-2 midweek mauling at the hands of Arsenal was a low point, with club captain César Azpilicueta compounding a miserable evening by throwing a ridiculous tantrum that culminated in a confrontation with Chelsea's own supporters. He hasn't scored in the league since New Year's Day, but all will be forgotten if he springs from the bench to end his goal drought today.
