Christian Pulisic spares Jorginho's blushes as Chelsea beat West Ham - 5 talking points

Christian Pulisic scored a last-minute winner as Chelsea earned a narrow victory over West Ham to increase their stranglehold on third place in the Premier League.

Substitute Pulisic's winner came moments after Jorginho saw a lacklustre penalty saved following Craig Dawson's foul on Romelu Lukaku in the area, which also saw the Hammers defender sent off.

Chances were at a premium throughout the match but Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will likely feel his side deserved victory due to their mammoth tally of 26 shots and two-thirds of possession.
