Premier League — Enzo Fernandez scores winner as Chelsea beat West Ham 3-2 in a comeback win

Chelsea fought from two goals down to beat West Ham 3-2 in the Premier League on Saturday, with an injury-time winner from Enzo Fernandez crowning the Blues’ second comeback win in four days under new coach Liam Rosenior.

The Hammers, struggling in the relegation zone, took full advantage of a sloppy first-half display from Chelsea, possibly a result of fatigue after the Blues came from behind to beat Napoli 3-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The visiting side took the lead in the seventh minute when captain Jarrod Bowen’s cross found the far post and half an hour later they doubled the lead when Crysencio Summerville smashed a shot past Robert Sanchez.

With boos from the Stamford Bridge fans ringing in his ears, Rosenior made three substitutions at half-time to set Chelsea on their way to a dramatic victory, with two of the substitutes – Joao Pedro and ‌Marc Cucurella – drawing the hosts level.

In the 57th minute, Pedro headed home from a Wesley Fofana cross, sparking a flurry of Chelsea attacks, and in the 70th, Cucurella drew Chelsea level with a diving header after the ball rebounded off the crossbar.

West Ham defender Jean-Clair Todibo squandered an opportunity to put the visiting side back ahead in the 86th minute, before Fernandez completed Chelsea’s comeback two minutes into extra time by firing home Pedro’s cutback.

Cucurella said Rosenior told the players at the break that if they played with confidence they would have opportunities to turn the game around.

«We spoke during halftime. Ultimately, it is about our mentality and desire that we showed in the second half. We are very happy,» said the Spaniard. Air sports.

Todibo was sent away in the final moments for his part in a fight.

The victory moved Chelsea to fourth place in the Premier League, two points ahead of Manchester United, who host Fulham on Sunday. West Ham remained 18th, five points away from safety, while 17th-placed Nottingham Forest faced Crystal Palace at home on Sunday.
