Chelsea punished the Hammers with a Pedro Neto goal just six minutes later to put them ahead in the match.

Enzo Fernandez then benefited from good work from Estevao to extend the visitors’ leader further.

Todibo was offside in the Fullkrug goal.

Football Insider Verdict

West Ham had got off to the perfect start when Paqueta struck after just six minutes at the London Stadium.

The Hammers’ defensive vulnerabilities though, were exposed again when a simple Marc Cucurella’s flick-on at the front post from a corner found Pedro to net his first Premier League goal.

The decision to disallow the goal though deflated West Ham and when Chelsea went ahead through Neto, the visitors cruised through to half-time.

West Ham’s lack of fight when the third goal went in will concern Potter, whose side was met with some boos when the half-time whistle blew.
