7M - Enzo Fernandez Leads Chelsea Comeback Against West Ham

Enzo Fernandez celebrated after scoring an injury-time winner, capping off a dramatic Chelsea comeback against 10-man West Ham. Chelsea's performance was perplexing; they struggled in the first half, prompting frustrations among fans towards head coach Liam Rosenior. However, the team managed to turn the game around.

It all culminated in the 92nd minute, when Enzo Fernandez latched onto a cutback from Joao Pedro, securing a 3-2 victory for Chelsea. Pedro, who had entered the game at the start of the second half, made an immediate impact by scoring Chelsea's first goal before assisting Fernandez in the dying moments.

West Ham started strong, with goals from Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville putting them in control for much of the match. Their failure to secure the lead was compounded by a mass brawl that led to Jean-Clair Todibo's sending off, leaving West Ham frustrated with their inability to maintain their advantage.

Nuno Espírito Santo, West Ham's manager, expressed disappointment with his team's defensive efforts in the second half. After leading, his tactical decisions came under scrutiny, particularly the substitution of striker Pablo for defender Max Kilman shortly before Chelsea equalized.

Rosenior, now enjoying six wins in seven games since taking over, faces questions about his tactical acumen despite the impressive recoveries he's facilitated. Chelsea's character was tested in this match, especially after a lackluster first half that featured much struggle and poor passing.

At halftime, Rosenior made multiple substitutions, and Chelsea finally began to show signs of life. Joao Pedro's goal brought them level, followed by Cucurella scoring to complete the comeback. West Ham's hopes were dashed, and they remain in a precarious position near the relegation zone.

The match served as a testament to Chelsea's resilience, but it also highlighted West Ham's ongoing struggles in defense, with no clean sheets since August.
