West Ham vs Chelsea live: Captain Jarrod Bowen ‘fuming’ at hosts’ collapse as Blues score five in one-sided London derby

You could focus on the good, like Joao Pedro’s supreme impact and how Chelsea might have now started a proper challenge, except it’s impossible not to get away from the bad.

And this was very bad from West Ham United, to the point that Graham Potter looks in immediate danger. Might he even be gone before Nuno Espirito Santo? Could the Nottingham Forest manager replace him, given issues there?

Read Miguel Delaney’s report from London Stadium (if the West Ham fans reading this can stomach it...)

Graham Potter speaks to Sky Sports: “Incredibly disappointed of course with the result.

“A good start, scored a great goal and then conceded a cheap goal and that probably set the tone for the evening.

“We played a top side but the manner of the goals we conceded made it impossible for us. We have to do better. We are disappointed with the goals and disappointed with the result.

“We have to dust ourselves down and prepare to play against Wolves.”

On new signings, he says, “We will always look but it’s more fundamental than that, we have to make it harder for teams to score against us.”

Contrast that with Marc Cucurella, who continues, “We are very happy. I think in the last game we missed something. I think we don't play our style but I think today, at the beginning, we started a little bit sloppy but the reaction from the team was very good. We showed a lot of energy. We want to play good football and we have a good result tonight.”

An understandably sombre Jarrod Bowen speaks to Sky Sports. “Think you can probably imagine [the emotions], fuming, disappointed, all the emotions that come off the back of conceding eight goals in two games and not picking up a point yet. I thought the goals were really cheap on our behalf. Kind of gifted the goals away.

“It’s a collective, when things are going well it’s easy to pick up your individual awards but you’ve got to point the finger at everyone. We have to all look at ourselves, take the responsibility.”

Asked about Potter coming under pressure, Bowen says: “The players are out there on the pitch, the manager can’t influence that. Basic football, I don’t think we’re doing well enough - I can tell you that. As captain it’s down to me to get a reaction out of everyone.”

“That’s a squad that’s going to be in a relegation fight,” Jamie Redknapp says on Sky Sports.

The two sides actually had the same number of shots - 12 - but West Ham had four on target to Chelsea’s seven.

West Ham finished with an xG of 0.94, to the Blues’ 2.93.

Marc Cucurella chats to Sky Sports. “It was difficult [losing Cole Palmer in the warm-up] because we practice one thing, at the end we need to change very fast,” he says. “Estevao in this case played an amazing game, all of us are ready at any time, we showed we have a top team.

“He showed that he is very mature, made good decisions, all the new players came here to help the team and to bring some good energy, good talent. Hopefully we can do good things this season.”

90+3 mins: Neto is still full of beans and he sprints down most of the pitch, threatening yet again, before Aguerd barges him out of the way.

Boos ring out at the full-time whistle. An embarrassment of a London derby for the hosts.

90+2 mins: More late drama? Neto is at the back post but the ball glances off Aguerd’s arm and Chelsea shout for a penalty!

VAR says he basically couldn’t help it, so no penalty. He does get a corner, but it’s cleared.

Fernandez recycles it and Hermansen collects easily, to ironic cheers.
