Marc Cucurella and three other Chelsea players blamed for West Ham goal in Premier League draw

Joe Cole highlighted four Chelsea players for being at fault for the goal the Blues conceded in their Premier League draw against West Ham. Graham Potter watched on as his side got off to a brilliant start at the London Stadium with Joao Felix guiding home Enzo Fernandez's cross.

Prior to that opener, Felix had already found the back of the net but he was offside. Kai Havertz also beat Lukas Fabianski after the Portugal international opened the scoring but the linesman's flag was also raised, with the forward just slightly behind the Hammers backline.

Very quickly though the momentum and direction of the game was flipped on its head with former Chelsea player Emerson Palmieri equalising after a lapse of concertation in the Blues defence. The second half saw minimal chances but the final 10 minutes were surrounded in controversy with Tomas Soucek at the centre of it all.
