Enzo Fernández nets 92nd‑minute winner as Chelsea come from 2-0 down to beat West Ham 3-2

Enzo Fernández scored in the 92nd minute as Chelsea recovered from 2-0 down to beat West Ham 3-2 at Stamford Bridge, completing a dramatic late comeback.

West Ham dominated the first half, with Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville putting them 2-0 ahead. The visitors were described as strong and dangerous in the opening period and remained five points below Nottingham Forest in 18th place.

Chelsea were poor before the interval, with their passing and left flank criticised, but Liam Rosenior made three half-time changes. João Pedro, brought on at the break, headed Chelsea’s first just before the hour, and Marc Cucurella nodded in the equaliser after Liam Delap hit the bar.

The game boiled over in the second half in a mass brawl that left Jean‑Clair Todibo the only player sent off; the defender was charged with throttling João Pedro and will miss three games. Nuno Espírito Santo criticised his side’s defending and was blamed in the report for retreating with his substitutions.

West Ham looked set for a point after Todibo hit the post in the 86th minute, but João Pedro pulled the ball back for Fernández to finish in stoppage time and secure the win. Chelsea had made seven changes ahead of the League Cup semi-final second leg against Arsenal, and West Ham remain without a clean sheet since August — Todibo’s suspension and whether West Ham can arrest their slide are among the immediate uncertainties mentioned.
