Chelsea Vs West Ham: Blues Beat Hammers 2-1 At Stamford Bridge

💦Chelsea came from behind to beat West Ham 2-1 in a pulsating London derby at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Monday. Chelsea’s second win in eight games lifted the home side into fourth place in the table, two points above Manchester City and four behind third-placed Nottingham Forest. West Ham remained 15th. England forward Jarrod Bowen missed the last six games with a foot injury but he made his presence felt three minutes before halftime when he gave West Ham the lead. Levi Colwill’s back pass from the touchline was woefully short, and the talismanic captain steadied himself before steering a left-foot shot into the bottom corner past goalkeeper Filip Jørgensen, who replaced the out-of-form Robert Sanchez. Chelsea hit back in the 64th just as West Ham looked to be taking control. Enzo Fernandez’s shot was blocked on the line but the rebound fell kindly for substitute Pedro Neto to lash in. The goal was given after a long review and amid loud protests by West Ham players who claimed Bowen was fouled in the buildup.
