On Friday night, Chelsea came from behind to humiliate West Ham 5-1, leaving former Blues boss Graham Potter under pressure just two games into the Premier League season.
Graham Potter has won five of 21 games since taking charge in January and has endured a miserable start to the new Premier League campaign after a 3-0 defeat to newly-promoted Sunderland last weekend.
Joao Pedro scored the first of Chelsea’s three goals from corners before Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez added to the world champions’ lead. Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah then took advantage of a nightmare night for new West Ham goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.

Furthermore, the victory at London Stadium took Chelsea to the top of the Premier League for the first time since December 2021. Chelsea had been dealt a blow before kickoff as Cole Palmer left the field during the warm-up and was pulled out of Enzo Maresca’s lineup as a precaution due to a muscle injury.
Palmer’s withdrawal opened the door for Brazilian wonder kid Estevao to show his potential on his first Premier League start. However, it was another Brazilian who opened the scoring in spectacular fashion.
In conclusion, West Ham briefly thought they had retaken the lead through Niclas Fuellkrug until the goal was disallowed for offside after a VAR review.
