"Chelsea completed a superb comeback for the second time in the space of four days as they overturned a two-goal deficit to beat relegation-threatened West Ham 3-2 in a thrilling London derby. Having seen his side come from 2-1 down to beat Napoli 3-2 and secure a place in the top eight of the Champions League table, Liam Rosenior made seven changes from the XI that began the game at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona."
"Yet Rosenior's half-time substitutes paid huge dividends, with Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella and Joao Pedro, scorer of a decisive brace in Naples, all having a huge impact. Pedro halved the deficit 12 minutes into the second half, before Cucurella levelled matters 13 minutes later. West Ham looked to have at least done enough to secure a point, but Enzo Fernandez struck in the 92nd minute to at least temporarily send Chelsea into the Premier League top four."
