1. Cole Palmer:
Palmer was the star of the show, playing a pivotal role in Chelsea’s victory. He was involved in both goals, with his cross forcing Aaron Wan-Bissaka into an own goal that put the Blues ahead. Palmer also had a number of dangerous moments, including a near goal when his curling shot just missed the target.
2. Moisés Caicedo:
The midfielder delivered a stellar performance in the middle of the park, breaking up West Ham’s attacks and driving Chelsea forward. His defensive resilience and composure on the ball were critical to Chelsea’s dominance after the break, and he played a significant role in ensuring West Ham didn’t find any rhythm in the second half.
3. Pedro Neto:
Making his impact off the bench, Neto scored the equalizing goal in the 61st minute. His whipped cross, which was deflected back to him, was expertly converted to ignite Chelsea’s comeback. Neto’s sharpness and timing proved crucial in Chelsea’s recovery and revitalized their attacking play.
4. Enzo Fernández
The Argentine midfielder was once again the glue that held Chelsea’s midfield together. He was involved in most of the Blues’ attacking moves, linking play with precision. Though he didn’t score, Fernández’s passing range and control in tight spaces were vital in Chelsea’s comeback, and his ability to dictate the tempo helped create several chances.
5. Tosin Adarabioyo:
The defender played a key role in Chelsea’s resolute defense, particularly in the dying minutes when he blocked a late strike from Mohammed Kudus. Adarabioyo’s physicality and ability to read the game helped keep West Ham at bay, providing Chelsea with vital protection as they saw out the victory.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
