Chelsea staged a remarkable 2-1 comeback victory against West Ham in their Premier League clash on Monday, climbing into the top four of the league. The match marked Graham Potter’s first return to Stamford Bridge since being sacked by Chelsea in 2023. West Ham initially took the lead when Jarrod Bowen scored in the 42nd minute after a defensive error from Chelsea. Despite a lackluster first half, Chelsea bounced back after the break to level the score with a goal from Pedro Neto in the 64th minute.
The Blues continued to press and were rewarded with a stroke of luck in the 74th minute. Aaron Wan-Bissaka inadvertently scored an own goal, deflecting a cross from Cole Palmer into West Ham's net, handing Chelsea a crucial 2-1 lead. This victory was important not only for Chelsea’s league position but also for their manager, Enzo Maresca, who had been dealing with distractions from the January transfer window. The win also broke a streak of underwhelming performances for Chelsea, as it was their first home league victory after trailing at half-time since 2013.
Despite their loss, West Ham still sits comfortably above the relegation zone, with Potter’s return to Stamford Bridge ending in disappointment. Chelsea’s fightback was a testament to their resilience, and the win gives them a much-needed boost as they push for a top-four finish and a spot in next season’s Champions League. This victory also marks the Blues’ second win in eight league matches, helping them maintain momentum in the race for European qualification.
