"Stamford Bridge was mutinous at half-time and in disbelief at the end. A pattern is developing under Liam Rosenior. Chelsea's head coach messed up his starting lineup against Napoli on Wednesday but turned it around. He did it again when his side were 2-0 down and in danger of unravelling. West Ham were on course for a major win in their fight against relegation after goals from Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville. Chelsea were all over the place before a triple substitution from Rosenior."
"Chelsea's mentality in the so-called smaller games was under the spotlight. There was no room for complacency against opponents fighting for their lives. Rosenior had said it was a chance for him to learn a lot about his players. Even then, though, he could not have expected that the lesson delivered by Nuno would be quite so brutal during the first half."
Stamford Bridge was mutinous at half-time and in disbelief at the end after Chelsea overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat West Ham. Rosenior made numerous changes to the starting lineup and again adjusted with a triple substitution that shifted the game. Wesley Fofana and Joao Pedro combined to pull a goal back, Marc Cucurella equalised and Enzo Fernandez swept home the winner in added time. West Ham led through Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville and initially executed Nuno Espirito Santo's tactics well. West Ham suffered a collapse, ending in disarray, with tempers boiling over and a mass brawl.
