PREMIER LEAGUE : WEST HAM UNITED VS CHELSEA – 22/08/2025 (PHOTO – MOISES CAICEDO CELEBRATES)

WEST HAM MADE 392 PASSES, WITH AN 86% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 7 CORNERS AND 12 SHOTS WITH 4 ON-TARGET IN THEIR MATCH AGAINST CHELSEA LAST NIGHT, INCLUDING A SUPERB GOAL FROM LUCAS PAQUETA AT JUST 6 MINS. INTO THE MATCH. (BELOW)

BUT THAT WAS WHERE WEST HAM’S LUCK IN LAST NIGHT’S MATCH BEGAN AND ENDED UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEM, AS THEY WERE UP AGAINST AN EXTREMELY ON-FORM AND WELL-ORGANISED CHELSEA SQUAD.

CHELSEA MADE 577 PASSES WITH AN 87% PASS ACCURACY, (HAD 60% POSSESSION), 5 CORNERS, AND 12 SHOTS WITH 7 ON-TARGET WITH 5 OF THOSE SUCCESSFULLY REACHING-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET! FIRSTLY, JOAO PEDRO SCORED A BLINDER AT 15 MINS., (BELOW)

FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS BY PEDRO NETO WITH A CRACKER AT 23 MINS.,  (BELOW)

AND THEN IT WAS OVER TO ENZO FERNANDES TO SCORE AT 34 MINS., (BELOW)

THEN ONTO MOISES CAICEDO TO NET A BLINDER AT 54 MINS., (BELOW)

AND JUST TO FINISH THINGS OFF, TREVOR CHALOBAH SCORED A BEAUT JUST 4 MINS. LATER AT 58 MINS! (BELOW)

LEAVING THE CHELSEA FANS BY-NOW IN RAPTURES! WHAT AN EXCITING NIGHT FOR CHELSEA! HOWEVER, MAYBE NOT-SO-MUCH-SO FOR WEST HAM YESTERDAY. BUT AS WE ALWAYS SAY, THAT’S THE BEAUTIFUL GAME FOR YOU, AND THAT’S WHY WE LOVE IT SO MUCH, BECAUSE YOU NEVER, EVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!
