'They lost a bit of impetus.'
Chelsea youngster Carney Chukwuemeka registered his first senior goal to make it 1-1 in the first half after Nayef Aguerd opened the scoring for the Hammers., a decision that former Blues defender Cole criticised.
The west Londoners saw their level drop in the second half and West Ham ran out as 3-1 winners with goals from Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta.‘They lost a bit of impetus in the game. They’re weren’t getting the runs in behind between right-back and centre-back. It was all then too easy for West Ham.
‘Pochettino will have understood the context behind the change but I felt they lost a bit of ability to drive beyond and cause West Ham a problem. They lost a little bit of power and impetus to sustain attacks.’
