Chelsea were ruthless against their former coach Graham Potter as they came from behind to thrash West Ham United 5-1 at the London Stadium.
Joao Pedro, Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah were on target as the Blues claimed their first win of the season – and made it successive losses for their hosts in a largely one-sided derby.
Despite losing Palmer to a potential injury and falling behind to Lucas Paqueta’s smashing goal for the home side, Estevao, who replaced Cole Palmer, settled down to sparkle as fellow Brazilian Joao Pedro restored parity nine minutes later through a close-range header.
West Ham thought they had restored their lead through Niclas Fullkrug, but the goal was chopped off after VAR reviews showed defender Jean-Clair Todibo was marginally offside before crossing to set up the goal.
