West Ham United claimed an amazing London derby win against big-spending Chelsea despite playing with 10 men.
The Hammers were 2-1 ahead when defender Nayef Aguerd, who opened the scoring with a seventh-minute header, was sent off in the 67th minute for his second yellow card.
Teenager, Carney Chukwuemeka scored his first goal for the Blues to make it 1-1 to go into the half time leveled with the host.
Chelsea had a chance to convert from the spot after Tomas Soucek brought down Raheem Sterling but Enzo Fernandez wasted the chance when his penalty was saved by Alphonse Areola.
Michail Antonio put West Ham back in front with a powerful angled strike in the 53rd minute, before the hosts were reduced to 10 men.
Chelsea could not force an equaliser and then conceded a late third through Lucas Paqueta’s penalty in the fifth minute of added time.
However, Mauricio Pochettino’s side could not use their man advantage to force a second leveller despite a second-half debut for Moises Caicedo, who joined from Brighton earlier this week in a deal that could become a British record.
It was not a debut to remember for him as Caicedo conceded a penalty with a foul on Emerson and Paqueta scored from the spot to seal West Ham’s victory.
