Chelsea’s form has been up and down as of late. In the Premier League, in their last five games, every win has been followed up by defeat, cementing how inconsistent the Blues have been since their return from the international break.
Midweek saw Thomas Tuchel’s men look uncharacteristically leaky at the back in a 4-2 loss to London rivals Arsenal, so a response was required when they faced another capital city opponent in West Ham. While the Hammers have impressed this season, they have only managed one win in their last five, with the Europa League their main remaining focus.
While they struggled to find a breakthrough during the game, a chance presented itself when Craig Dawson was sent off for fouling Romelu Lukaku in the box, giving away a penalty. Jorginho stepped up for the spot kick, but fired his shot at Lukasz Fabianski.
