Late C. Pulisic's goal gifted Chelsea team victory against West Ham © JumpStory

On Sunday, after a fierce battle, London's "Chelsea" defeated "West Ham" footballers at home with a score of 1:0. In the first half, neither team created particularly dangerous opportunities. The "Hammers" defended compactly and disciplinedly, making it difficult for Tuchel's team to break through their opponents' resistance. The second half had a slightly different picture. "The Aristocrats" forward Timo Werner wasted several very good opportunities, but failed to capitalize on them. In the ranks of "West Ham", Tomas Soucek missed a great opportunity to put his team ahead. In the 87th minute, a penalty was awarded to "West Ham's" goal. Not only that, Craig Dawson, who fouled Romelu Lukaku, was shown a red card. However, with Jorginho stepping up to take the penalty, Lukasz Fabianski easily saved his poorly executed shot. But, just moments later, the hosts scored a winning goal. In the 90th minute, Christian Pulisic sent the ball into the net and gifted his team 3 points. After the match, "Chelsea" continues to stand firmly in third place in the league table. Meanwhile, "West Ham" in seventh place is two points behind "Manchester United" in sixth place.
