Jacob Steinburg has filed his match report
Stamford Bridge was mutinous at half-time and in disbelief at the end. A pattern is developing under Liam Rosenior. Chelsea’s new head coach messed up his starting lineup against Napoli on Wednesday but turned it around. He did it again when his side were 2-0 down and in danger of unravelling against West Ham.
Chelsea go fourth after that. The gap to Aston Villa in third is six points. Steep.
