Chelsea Dominates West Ham in Title Chase…
Chelsea made a mockery of West Ham’s defenses in a 5-1 romp at the London Stadium, making it look easier than choosing what to watch on Netflix. The Blues are clearly putting their names down to challenge Liverpool after a quiet summer where the club might as well have been resting on a luxury beach while being called world champions. A puzzling draw against Crystal Palace left fans scratching their heads, as if they’d been asked to solve an algebra equation mid-game. But against West Ham, Chelsea was as accurate as a GPS, scoring five with fewer shots.
A mix-up at the start saw Cole Palmer drop out due to injury, leaving West Ham-wise Lucas Paqueta to strike first. But Chelsea swiftly equalized, and soon after, West Ham’s defense was flimsier than a paper straw in a smoothie. Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo were stunningly effective, while Pedro Neto had defenders tangled like headphone wires. Friday’s display was a humiliation for West Ham, as Chelsea’s attack seemed to toy with their backline. By the time Liverpool gets around to playing on Monday, the Reds’ fans might be chewing their fingernails to the quick!
