Chelsea won 1-0 in injury time against West Ham, but also ended the previous three-game losing streak at home, this game once again showed the bloody temperament of the team, because it also suffered from Jorginho's missed penalty trap, but in the stoppage time can also have a key gentleman to stand up to solve the game, such courage is also many teams do not have. The Blue Bridge has a lot of classic battles to be remarkable, emotional, before this round of competition there are many problems in the home game, so this campaign to take all three points can indeed improve morale, but also can stabilize the position of the top three.
West Ham has been in the top four for a long time this season, and indeed the most important mid-range team to be underestimated, because the Hammers still have the qualification to compete for a European place, so this game is also full of money, so this win is also golden. Chelsea have 65 points in 32 rounds after this game, which is 5 points more than Arsenal, who have one more game behind them, and if they win the make-up game, they can be in the top three. Because the Blues are 14 points behind second-placed Liverpool, this gap also proves that the team has not won the championship trophy this season, but then there is a league title to compete with Liverpool, and fans hope that the team can win the cup.
West Ham is in 7th place after the loss, 2 points less than Manchester United and 6 points less than Tottenham, because Conte's team has one less round of matches, and if they win the supplementary round, they can still be in the European zone, so both Manchester United and West Ham want Spurs and Arsenal to lose points, because this can return to the European zone. Because West Ham, the first meeting between the two teams this season, defeated Chelsea 3-2 at home, this campaign is also the Revenge of the Blues.
West Ham has indeed gone high and low this season, and has made the giants suffer at the beginning of the season, the team has been 4-1 Leicester City, 1-0 Everton and Tottenham Hotspur, 3-2 Liverpool, the League Cup 1-0 to manchester United, 5-3 to manchester City, but after entering the second half of the poor state, so the ranking fell. The relationship between the team's unstable record and the distraction of the Europa League, after all, the general midstream team only focuses on the league and the domestic cup, once there is a European distraction, the league loss of points is inevitable.
Because the opponent is tenacious enough, it is not easy for Chelsea to win this game, and it also reveals the tenacity of the team. In this game, Lukaku and Pulisic are both substitutes, and both have very critical performances, both of them came on in the 76th minute to replace Werner and Havertz, in the 83rd minute Lukaku used his personal ability to enter the box and was pulled down by Dawson to win the penalty and send the opponent a red card, such a short time to turn the situation around is indeed in place, unfortunately Jorginho's penalty is not threatened, so it wasted a great opportunity.
The key moment was pulisic's savior, and in the 90th minute the pass from Mount was given to Alonso on the left, who went down to the bottom and inverted the triangle to pass to Pulisic, who ran in time and scored the ball, at this moment the stadium boiled, and the Blues fans finally saw the might of the bloody Blue Lions. Both substitutes are in place, and Tuchel's substitution is also the finishing touch.
Chelsea's multi-line battles this season have been harder than any other team in the Premier League, plus the boss Abu's thing, the club has also been affected to a certain extent, so in such a situation the team can play the current results, and win some cups, it is indeed admirable, I believe all Chelsea fans will be very touched, at the same time very proud. The 1-0 bloody temperament was in the mourinho's time at the coach of Chelsea, and compared with the big score of gorgeous wins, the Blues' one-goal win was more interesting, and the substitution in the second half was also extremely in place, which could turn things around, and the Pulisic of this game once again made the fans feel the passion of the past.
The goal of this game is also Pulisic's first goal in the last month, and the one-month goal drought has also made the toughster difficult, the last time he scored for Chelsea was in the Champions League away to Lille, so it was also a long-awaited goal. Pulisic has scored 7 goals for the team this season, 5 in the Premier League, 2 in the Champions League, 3 assists, 10 in participation, the overall data is higher than last season, Pulisic scored 6 goals last season, but most of his goals are key goals, which also shows that he is indispensable.
Tuchel took over the team halfway to win the Champions League trophy, the new coach's next season at the Blue Bridge is not easy, but Tuchel can resolve the crisis, timely reverse the disadvantages, especially the morale of Chelsea's punishment, Tuchel's remarks make the fans more tenacious, which is also not available to other teams.
In this game, Chelsea shot 6-3 in the first half, corner kicks 1-1, the possession rate is 70% to 30%, and the opponent's iron barrel formation is indeed in place, so it is inevitable that it will not be able to attack for a long time. Pulisic played only 14 minutes of the game, with 1 shot on goal, 1 goal, 1 threatening pass, and 9 passes with a success rate of 88.89%, which is indeed a performance of efficiency. Lukaku 1 shot on goal, 1 threatening pass, a successful steal, and the ability to create penalties in the face of strict defense also shows that the ability of the front is in place.
The starting Havertz had 1 shot on goal, 2 threatening passes, Werner 5 shots on goal, 2 threatening passes, both of them were threatening, unfortunately neither scored, the two players were also a little tired, the next game may also get a certain rest, Lukaku is expected to get a starting opportunity, after all, the striker is very eager to score. Because the next round of the league will be against Manchester United, Lukaku will also start against the old masters, because it is a strong dialogue, Tuchel may also sacrifice the strongest squad to play.
Chelsea currently hold the record of nine consecutive away wins and 10 unbeaten games in several competitions, and will also strive to win the next game against Manchester United, as the team will only prepare for the subsequent FA Cup final against Liverpool after ensuring the stability of the first three positions.
