Overview

• Chelsea came from behind at the London Stadium to win 5-1, with João Pedro, Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah scoring after Lucas Paquetá’s early strike.
• Eighteen-year-old Estêvão made his first full start in place of Cole Palmer, set up Fernández for the third goal and was named man of the match.
• Enzo Maresca said Palmer felt a groin issue in the warm-up and was withdrawn as a precaution, with the player to be assessed.
• West Ham conceded three goals from set pieces, and goalkeeper Mads Hermansen’s fumbles from corners led directly to Chelsea’s fourth and fifth.
• The victory briefly lifted Chelsea to the top of the table, while West Ham have shipped eight goals in two games as boos, early exits and a pitch invader highlighted fan unrest and added to scrutiny on Potter, with reports of a push for midfield reinforcements.
