Chelsea vs West Ham United
After a first half where we only had one off target shot on goal from each team, the bar was set low for the second half. However Antonio changed all of that for West Ham at the 62nd minute, tapping the ball into the back of the net. Chilwell came off the bench and made an immediate impact, with a 76th minute goal for Chelsea. Chilwell set it up for Havertz to give Chelsea the lead at the 88th minute. We had some drama at the 90th minute where the VAR overtumed a Cornet goal which would have leveled the scores. Considering the amount of possession Chelsea had for the game, they ran out deserving winners.
