Result Chelsea 1-0 West Ham: Christian Pulisic scores the winning goal

by


Substitute Christian Pulisic scored a dramatic winner in the dying minutes as Chelsea beat a determined West Ham side 1-0.

Chelsea had struggled, especially in the first half, but they eventually managed to topple West Ham as they came back to win and moved five points clear of Arsenal in third place.

West Ham had dutifully defended most of the time but were reduced to ten men when Craig Dawson, who had been impressive up to that point, was sent off for a foul on Romelu Lukaku in the box following a VAR review.

Jorginho, usually reliable from the penalty spot, saw his tame effort parried by Fabianski, but Pulisic ensured Chelsea managed to prevail when he latched on to a Marcos Alonso cross.

The result leaves West Ham in seventh place in the Premier League, with David Moyes appointing Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio on the bench with Thursday’s Europa League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt in mind. Rice and Bowen entered the fray, but Antonio was not used.

The triple change makes the difference for Chelsea

For much of the game, Chelsea’s play was too slow as they found it difficult to disarm a well organized West Ham team.

Thomas Tuchel finally made his way to his bench in the 76th minute, with Pulisic, Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech entering the fray.

The trio helped increase Chelsea’s attacking drive and had a significant impact. Pulisic scored the goal, Lukaku won the penalty and Ziyech caused problems with his trickery and delivery.

Chelsea know they need to improve significantly if they want to finish the season strong, especially with the FA Cup final against Liverpool in mind.

Dawson’s red card is a major problem for West Ham

As mentioned, Dawson had done very well for West Ham before his red card, as he made several big blocks.

His dismissal leaves West Ham somewhat short of defensive options ahead of their next league game against Arsenal next Sunday.

Kurt Zouma, Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna are injured, while the West Ham players will also be tired from the game against Frankfurt.

Today, Ben Johnson and Aaron Cresswell rounded out the bottom three well, while Rice moved to defense late, but it’s far from an ideal situation for Moyes.
