Chelsea vs West Ham live: Enzo Fernandez strikes in stoppage time to complete comeback as Todibo sent off

For Chelsea, that’s how you build a connection, and a team. As for West Ham United, that’s how you get into another tailspin, but it’s still hard to say how they threw that away.

It was probably the substitutions of both managers.

Whatever you put it down to, Chelsea went from getting booed off at half-time when 2-0 down to scoring a vintage stoppage-time winner for a 3-2 victory. The melee at the end, that resulted in a Jean-Clair Todibo red card, only fed into the raucous feeling.

"Sometimes this can happen, but we have a strong squad. We showed we are capable to do it, now we must look forward an continue.

"We knew our power. It's another special day. This team is very young but everyone trusts each other, this is our power. We can improve a lot, but this game is important to show the fans how strong we are."

"At half-time we speak, in the end its about our mentality and desire we showed in the second half, we are very happy.

"[Liam Rosenior] said it's about us, if we go to press, want the ball, play with confidence, we will get the chances to win.

"We have very good players, a very good team, since the start of the second half we showed a lot of energy and desire. If we play with this energy we are able to win at lot of games."

That result means that Chelsea jump back into the top four and sit two points clear of Manchester United in fifth.

The Blues also maintain their winning run ahead of a crunch clash with Arsenal on Tuesday in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

For West Ham, they remain in the relegation zone and are five points away from safety. Nottingham Forest have the chance to increase that to eight tomorrow.

101 mins: What a match. What a result.

Chelsea had never won a match when trailing by two goals at half-time.

Liam Rosenior made his substitutions and, much like against Napoli, they turned up for him in the second half.

It’s six wins from seven matches now for the Chelsea boss and this one is right up there with one of their best.

The game has finally boiled over and a fracas ensues.

Adama Traore throws Cucurella to ground causing Joao Pedro to kick off.

Everyone then squares off with each other and Jean-Clair Todibo grabs Pedro by the throat.

A lengthy VAR check sees Todibo dismissed for violent conduct!

Yes!

Wow. Chelsea complete the perfect comeback having been trailing by two goals at half-time.

Palmer receives the ball on right wing. He gives it to Caicedo who feeds the ball into the box for Pedro.

There chance is there for him to shoot but instead he pulls it back into the middle of the box and Enzo Fernandez arrives to drive his shot into the back of the net!

90 mins: Five minutes of added time to play. Will there be a winner?

88 mins: Nearly!

It’s Chelsea’s turn to attack and they work the ball along the edge of the box from the left.

James slips it to Palmer who sets himself then shoots only for Mateus Fernandes to block the effort!

85 mins: Close!

The winning goal almost comes to West Ham who work the ball into the area from the right.

Jean-Clair Todibo is up the pitch and sticks out a leg but only manages to turn the ball into the outside of the near post!
