Overview

• Five different Chelsea players scored — João Pedro, Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah — after Lucas Paquetá’s early strike for West Ham.
• Cole Palmer withdrew in the warm-up with a groin issue, and 18-year-old Estêvão impressed on his first start by setting up Fernández.
• The win briefly moved Chelsea to the top of the Premier League, while West Ham fell to the bottom with eight goals conceded in two matches.
• New goalkeeper Mads Hermansen fumbled two corners that led directly to goals for Caicedo and Chalobah as set-piece problems persisted.
• Home supporters booed, many departed early and one fan entered the pitch, as Potter accepted responsibility and acknowledged he is under pressure.
