Chelsea player ratings vs West Ham: Filip Jorgensen jittery as Levi Colwill makes dreadful mistake
Chelsea came from behind to beat West Ham 2-1 on Monday.
The Blues fell behind to a Jarrod Bowen goal just before half-time after a major mistake from Levi Colwill but the Blues came from behind to move back into fourth in the Premier League table.
Pedro Neto drew the hosts level before Cole Palmer forced an Aaron Wan-Bissaka own goal to ensure Chelsea beat the Hammers.
Here’s how Enzo Maresca’s side rated at Stamford Bridge...
Brought in for Robert Sanchez in a move fans have long been calling for but looked similarly jittery.
Reece James 5
Booked after being second-best in foot-race with Carlos Soler, which isn't a great look.
Tosin Adarabioyo 7
Back in the side ahead of Trevor Chalobah and made vital stoppage-time block from Kudus to secure the win. A handy attacking threat, too.
Levi Colwill 4
Dreadful mistake to gift West Ham their opener. Claims for a foul were weak.
Marc Cucurella 5
Lacking composure when racing into low-percentage challenge with Tomas Soucek that left space for the same goal. Kept ball alive in lead up to leveller.
Enzo Fernandez 6
Poked a decent chance wide in the first-half, then saw shot blocked before Neto equaliser. Booked.
Moises Caicedo 7
Isn’t quite exuding the same air of dominance in midfield as a month or two ago but was a key part in second-half improvement. Helped deal with the driving threat of Mohamed Kudus.
Noni Madueke 6
Chelsea’s brightest forward in the first-half with direct runs off the right. Went close with curler.
Cole Palmer 7
Denied from a free-kick by sensational Alphonse Areola save, then forced the winner with cross that deflected in off Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Jadon Sancho 5
Wants a second too long when shooting in the box. Dragged early in the second-half.
Nicolas Jackson 6
Gave Maresca an injury scare in first-half and replaced soon after the restart. Some nice hold-up play for Palmer and Madueke but goal drought is now eight games.
Substitues
Marc Guiu (Jackson 52’) 6
Telling that youngster was summoned before Nkunku. May have a big part to play in second half of the season.
Pedro Neto (Sancho 52’) 8
Off the bench to score a vital equaliser. Hugely positive impact.
Christopher Nkunku (Madueke 60’) 6
Must refocus now that January move has failed to materialise.
Malo Gusto (James 60’) 6
Unlucky to have lost his place so quickly since James return but did well in cameo.
Trevor Chalobah (Palmer 89’) N/A
Unused: Sanchez, Acheampong, Dewsbury-Hall, George.
