West Ham have taken the lead against Chelsea at Upton Park thanks a wonderful half volley from Mauro Zarate.
Asmir Begovic had turned Dimitri Payet’s free-kick over the bar, but Chelsea couldn’t clear the resulting corner and some poor marking allowed Zarate to fire home.
Jose Mourinho has already presided over Chelsea’s worst start for almost forty years. Despite being a Premier League title winner in May, the Blues’ hierarchy must surely be considering whether or not to give him the time, money, and space to turn the club’s fortunes around.
They have only won one of their last five in all competitions.
West Ham, meanwhile, will move up to second if they can hold on for all three points. They haven’t lost since a 4-3 defeat to Bournemouth in the second game of the season.
