Chelsea rallied after the coming break of a goal and beat West Ham on the return from Graham Potter to Stamford Bridge.

The local team was in a way for large periods and the well-organized visitors of Potter took advantage of a deserved lead at the end of the first half thanks to Jarrod Bowen.

But a very improved display in the second half was rewarded when Pedro Neto swept an equalizer.

And Cole Palmer – inevitably – had a hand in the winner when his low cross / shot completed off the coast of Aaron Wan -Bissaka to give Chelsea the points that brought them back to fourth place in the Premier League.

Potter, during his first return to the ground since he was dismissed by Chelsea in 2023, will have seen a lot of enthusiasm.

Bowen was back from injury to appear for the first time in 2025 and was excellent throughout, opening the scoring with a brilliant bass finish after a Levi Colwill error.

Enzo Maresca had seen enough and had made four changes in the 52nd minute.

And one of these, the former winger of Wolves Neto, attracted them with a powerful finish after Marc Cucurella returned the ball through the goal.

Palmer – Who had seven shots on goal in the match – then rolled in the region and shot in a bullet that completed on the head of Alphonse Areole via the former back of Manchester United Wan -Bissaka.

Mohammed Kudus had a late shot blocked while the Hammers fought for an additional time, but Chelsea was maintained.
