Chelsea come from behind to beat West Ham United
Substitute Kai Havertz scored a late winner as Chelsea came from behind to beat West Ham, who had a 90th-minute equaliser ruled out from Maxwel Cornet.
The Hammers frustrated Chelsea in a first half that saw plenty of home possession but no shots on target for either side, and looked to have executed their gameplan to perfection when Michail Antonio scored from a rare attack after 62 minutes.
The forward bundled in from close range after Blues goalkeeper Edouard Mendy failed to deal with a corner, but the visitors’ lead was wiped out 14 minutes later.
Chelsea, on the back of a record summer of spending and with £70m arrival Wesley Fofana making his debut, had struggled to break down David Moyes’ side before Ben Chilwell snuck in to level from a tight angle shortly after coming off the bench.
Cornet almost won it late on for the visitors, only to see his header come back off the post, and the Blues immediately went down the other end to score themselves through a clinical Havertz header.
There was still time for more drama as Cornet pounced, but only after a foul on Mendy that was given after the referee consulted the pitchside monitor.
