The left back deftly tapped a loose ball through the legs of a leaping Lukasz Fabianski to make it 1-1 in the 76th minute and then sent a near-post ping for fellow sub Kai Havertz to direct home. I support a lot of the VAR stuff, I actually think the goalkeeper dives, he is faking an injury because he cannot get to the next one – he did the same on the first goal as well. Chilwell, Havertz deliver off bench: Marc Cucurella was lively at left back but perhaps a bit wasteful, and Ben Chilwell got 18 minutes to rectify the left side. Playing in front of Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek — quite a midfield trio — Paqueta got stuck into 12 duels, winning 7, while managing four clearances, a blocked shot, two interceptions, and two tackles on a day he highlighted the defensive part of his complete acumen. Chelsea catches a break as VAR takes away West Ham equalizer: Edouard Mendy’s soft bid to clear a ball out of danger saw a leaping Jarrod Bowen clip the keeper’s arm on his followthrough. USMNT forward Christian Pulisic played the first 60 minutes for Chelsea, who heads into its first UEFA Champions League group stage match with three wins, a draw, and two losses.

Chelsea steals three points in a 2-1 home win after a late Kai Havertz winner. Here are the player ratings from the game.

Chiwell came on in the 72nd minute and completely changed the game for the Blues today. The German international scored Chelsea's winner, maybe being dropped has brought the best out of him Pulisic wasn't really involved in the game too much and struggled to create chances. well deserved man of the match. Jorginho - 5 James came back into the Chelsea side today after dropping out of the squad last week due to illness. Fofana made his debut today as a Chelsea player and showed what he was all about. Mason Mount - 5 Looked better today but still doesn't fit perfectly into Chelsea midfield yet. Christian Pulisic - 5 Marc Cucurella - 5 Edouard Mendy - 5

It was another difficult afternoon for Chelsea but the Blues pulled through thanks to goals from Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz.

Unfortunately, his memorable moment saw him dispossessed as Maxwel Cornet almost won the game for West Ham. Jorginho - Had less than 10 minutes to make his mark. Changed the game and delivered the ball to Kai Havertz to net the winner. Christian Pulisic - It was the first start of the season for the American, and was perhaps Chelsea's most likely player to threaten the opposition goal in the opening half. Mateo Kovacic - The Croatian showed some good passing but did not take control of the tempo how he so often can. Generally shown as an option for the back three to play the ball in a solid outing. Ruben Loftus-Cheek - The midfielder made his fifth start in a row and opened the game with some strong challenges but picked up a yellow card after just nine minutes. Reece James - The wing-back was the player Chelsea primarily looked to when camped in the Hammers half but was often faced with stagnant targets. His passing was not as high quality as he displayed earlier in his Blues tenure. 6. Chelsea's stopper went down before Maxwell Cornet put the ball in the net and was fortunate to see the goal ruled out. Edouard Mendy - The Blues goalkeeper was untested in the opening half of the match and faced more pressure in the second.

West Ham United boss David Moyes labelled the VAR decision to rule out an equaliser in their 2-1 Premier League defeat at Chelsea "scandalous."

In my opinion, it is a foul," Tuchel said. The referee somehow gets that so wrong, it is incredible." "I thought even if he goes to the TV, there's no way he's overturning it. The goalkeeper comes to take it [the ball] and actually fumbles it about five or six yards then he acts as if he's got a shoulder injury. "It went in our favour and there's a reason it went in our favour. "Have you seen it?

Chelsea's now dropped points in three Premier League matches this season, losing its last two away visits: 3-0 to Leeds and 2-1 to Saints.

And then things got weird, with Maxwel Cornet hitting the post for the visitors, Kai Havertz scoring a goal at the other end immediately after, Maxwell Cornet ...

Jorginho on for RLC late on. That slow attrition lasted from minute 1 to just past the hour-mark, and made for some extremely boring viewing. Mount also added, with Chilwell and Havertz following soon after.

Super subs Chilwell and Havertz -- and a controversial VAR reprieve -- deliver Chelsea a 2-1 win over West Ham United on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.

Rice's manager also agreed, with David Moyes saying, "It is a scandalous decision, absolutely rotten decision from one of the supposedly elite referees. Cannot see how they’ve come to that decision." Ben Chilwell turned in from an acute angle to bring the Blues level after Mendy's earlier hesitation from a corner led to Michail Antonio opening the scoring. Shambles."

Alan Shearer was not happy with the VAR call made during Chelsea's 2-1 win over West Ham United.

I’m more embarrassed for the guy in VAR than the referee because that’s telling me someone who doesn’t understand football and shouldn’t be near the game if that is enough to put someone near the screen.” “Today there is no excuse for that not to be a goal, none whatsoever. “They should be told to stay out of it the VAR officials. It was a ridiculously bad decision. And I don’t think anyone who has played the game will agree with the VAR Jared Gillett and the referee Andy Madley. “It doesn’t say much about whoever sent him over from VAR as well.

I do not see that in a million years. "Today there is no excuse for that not to be a goal, none whatsoever. I've lost faith in them today in the people who are putting up for VAR. "They've got new people in charge who are trying to do something. The drama didn't stop there though, as Maxwel Cornet appeared to equalise in injury time to grab a point for the Hammers. "Then he acted as if it was a shoulder injury. Tuchel claimed that the decision was the right one, but Moyes unsurprisingly saw things differently with some comments after the game. It was a ridiculously bad decision. "It is a scandalous decision, absolutely rotten from one of the supposedly elite referees," Moyes told Sky Sports. It comes after a heated end to the match between the two London clubs at Stamford Bridge, following a slow start to the game. It is an unbelievable decision against us." The first half saw the Blues manage no shots on target as both teams went into the breaks goalless.

The Premier League are set to step in to deal with so called VAR misuse which has caused uproar amongst David Moyes and Declan Rice recently.

I'm more embarrassed for the guy in VAR than the referee because that's telling me someone who doesn't understand football and shouldn't be near the game if that is enough to put someone near the screen. "Today there is no excuse for that not to be a goal, none whatsoever. "They've got new people in charge who are trying to do something. "It is a scandalous decision, absolutely rotten from one of the supposedly elite referees," Moyes told Sky Sports. There have been many issues that all the managers have picked up but game week 6 of the 2022/23 campaign has been like none other so far. Stamford Bridge, St James Park and the Amex Stadium were the three locations whereby the most controversial of the decisions were made but David Moyes' and Declan Rice's explosive reactions amplified these decisions.
