Chelsea v West Ham - Match Report

Chelsea labour to victory over West Ham

[THREAD]

Last night, it was the veteran, Thiago Silva, that was the shining star in this young Chelsea side as he guided Chelsea to a crucial win. His most telling contribution came after ten minutes when he met a Mount corner with a bullet header to give Chelsea the early lead...

However, from that moment on he showed exactly why Chelsea brought him in on a free transfer in the summer. He made countless blocks, interceptions, and clearances to keep the West Ham attack at bay and was deservedly the man of the match.

Another star performer last night...

was Tammy Abraham. He is constantly criticised by Chelsea fans on social media and 99% of the time it is completely unjustified but last night he showed exactly why Lampard showed faith in him to play him from the start. His all round game was very good with limited service...

for the most part, but he took his chances late on in the game when he was presented with them to ensure Chelsea left with all three points.

Apart from those two individual performances, Chelsea were poor last night and struggled to get any rhythm into their play which...

allowed West Ham to dominate them for most parts. West Ham had two goals ruled out (one for offside and the other for a foul in the build-up), several shots that were heading in blocked by a Chelsea defender and a few headers over the bar. The work David Moyes has done with...

this team is admirable and they are definitely in with a shout of getting a top half finish this season.

From Frank Lampard’s point of view he will be happy with the win after two consecutive losses but will know that his Chelsea team have to be better on Boxing Day against...

Arsenal as they have the quality in attack to take their chances when they arise.
