Chelsea v West Ham: Premier League – live! | Premier League
Missed penalty by Chelsea’s Jorginho!
There was a conflab over the penalty. Lukaku wanted to take it. Instead, up steps Jorginho and he passed the ball right at Fabianski. Honestly, that was hilarious.
West Ham’s Dawson is sent off!
86 min: VAR looks at Dawson’s challenge as denying a goalscoring opportunity, and that’s an early squeeze of the Wash and Go for him.
Penalty to Chelsea!
Romelu Lukaku spins Craig Dawson on to Thiago Silva’s flick and is pulled down. Good play from Lukaku, bad from Dawson!
82 min: Marcos Alonso is booked for a flailing elbow on Fornals, and then from the free-kick Mason Mount is knocked over by Craig Dawson, a waste of everyone’s time, frankly.
80 min: Ziyech cut in from the right, waves his left to open the tin of beans and the ball flies behind. Tuchel, sipping water in the stands, simmers with barely concealed ennui.
79 min: Benhrahma off, Lanzini on is the latest West Ham change, and Bowen has the latest shot, smashing wide.
78 min: Mason Mount fizzes one over, he’s not quite the force of old at the moment.
76 min: Triple Chelsea sub: Werner, Havertz and Loftus-Cheek all off, on come Pulisic, Lukaku and Ziyech. Made for Rom, this one.
74 min: The ball falls to Werner, the goal gapes once more, he sticks out a leg but can’t get enough on it the ball spins to Fabianski. Typical Timo.
73 min: West Ham sub: Bowen on for Yarmolenko.
72 min: Chelsea with some sustained pressure. Loftus-Cheek, who has done OK at right wing-back, flashes a cross over and Alonso heads over.
70 min: Yarmolenko goes through, and gets two attempts at it, only for the ball to be cleared. Then Chelsea go down the other end, Mount’s shot is blocked by Dawson, and it falls to Werner. The goal gapes, the crowd are expectant. The side-netting is hit…Lads, it’s Timo.
68 min: No, not much is happening here. This game has been played not even at half-pace, more quarter-pace, with plenty of breaks in play. Thiago Silva surges on and has a dig – and why not – and the ball almost breaks to Timo Werner, who is offside, as per.
66 min: Cresswell takes an age over a throw-in, and ends up getting a telling off for doing so, but no booking.
63 min: Premier League update: Burnley 1-0 Wolves. That puts Everton in the bottom AS IT STANDS. Oh my.
62 min: On comes Declan Rice for West Ham, Mark Noble going off. Does this feel like a risk? Yes, frankly.
62 min: Premier League update: it’s now Brighton 2-2 Southampton, James Ward-Prowse getting both Saints goals.
60 min: Fabianski called into action when the ball comes off Dawson as Kante shoots. Up in the stands, Stuart Pearce can be seen, the West Ham coach. He’s 60 today, to make you all feel old.
On Stuart Pearce’s 60th birthday, a reminder of his final match as a player in 2002.
Stuck on 99 career goals, an injury time penalty is given at Maine Road. Dave Beasant tells him he’s going to stand still. The scene is set to retire in style… #MCFCpic.twitter.com/UTqjJgRuyv
