Palmer wins it, Neto impact, Colwill mistake - Chelsea player ratings vs West Ham
Chelsea overturned a one-goal deficit to pick up a crucial three points against West Ham United at Stamford Bridge.
Jarrod Bowen took advantage of a misplaced pass from Levi Colwill and fired the visitors ahead at Stamford Bridge, just a few minutes before the half-time whistle. It remained that way until half-time and while Blues fans became restless at the beginning of the second-half, Pedro Neto was on hand to level the game.
Neto was only introduced a few minutes before as he fired home from close range after Enzo Fernandez's effort was blocked. Not long after, Chelsea were ahead in SW6 with Cole Palmer's strike deflecting off Aaron Wan-Bissaka and looping into the back of the net over Alphonse Areola.
Two quick-fire goals were enough for the Blues, who were not at their best but picked up an important three points against their London rivals. Below, Bobby Vincent runs the rule over the Chelsea players that featured against the Hammers...
Filip Jorgensen - 6
Some nervy moments but did okay overall.
Reece James - 6
Produced some fine crosses but his teammates were not able to capitalise on them. Off before the hour-mark.
Tosin Adarabioyo - 7
He did fine. Tosin was at least trying to pass it in between the lines, which is a lot more than what can be said than some of his teammates out there. A match-winning block on 94 minutes to deny Mohammed Kudus from close range. Excellent.
Levi Colwill - 3
A poor mistake on 42 minutes where his mishit pass-back was pounced on by Bowen, who made no mistake in front of goal. Shaky all night against Kudus.
Moises Caicedo - 5
Just kept giving away fouls, which was frustrating for Chelsea fans. A couple of nice interceptions but overall, not the Ecuadorian's best.
Enzo Fernandez - 6
Fernandez was at least trying to make things happen when his Chelsea teammates were playing safe in attacking positions.
Noni Madueke - 5
Off just after the hour-mark. After scoring in back-to-back games coming into this, Madueke was unable to
Cole Palmer - 7
Quiet up until he was not. His shot took an enormous deflection off Wan-Bissaka and looped into the back of the net. Unfortunately it will probably go down as an own goal but Palmer made it happen.
Jadon Sancho - 5
Couldn't get in the game. Didn't do enough when he had the ball. Comes off with 52 minutes on the clock.
Nicolas Jackson - 5
Struggled throughout the 52 minutes he was on the pitch. Picked up a knock, which could be something to do with him being replaced less than an hour in.
SUBS
Pedro Neto (on for Sancho 52') - 8
What an introduction! Great to see him on the score sheet. Needs to do it a lot more often.
Marc Guiu (on for Jackson 52') - 6
Just his third Premier League outing of the season. Put himself about as he always does.
Malo Gusto (on for James 61') - 6
On with around 30 minutes to go. Did okay.
Christopher Nkunku (on for Madueke 61') - 6
Played in the middle and Palmer switched to the right. Some nice touches.
Trevoh Chalobah (on for Palmer 90') - N/A
On for stoppage time.
