Chelsea secured a 2-1 victory over West Ham at Stamford Bridge, propelled by a second-half performance that saw them overcome an early deficit. Pedro Neto equalized for Chelsea after Jarrod Bowen's opener for West Ham. Cole Palmer's deflected cross ultimately sealed the win for Chelsea, propelling them into fourth place in the Premier League.
'When West Ham come here and sit back with 10 players behind the ball, it's not easy,' said the Chelsea head coach.
Maresca’s side trailed to Jarrod Bowen’s strike late in the first half at Stamford Bridge, sparking jeers from frustrated fans after a lethargic start. After a disappointing run of one win in seven league games, Maresca was relieved to see Chelsea get back on track in spirited fashion.“It is huge. Today was a tough game, especially mentally. When West Ham come here and sit back with 10 players behind the ball, it’s not easy. You have to be mentally strong and you need to be patient,” he said.
Sanchez’s replacement Filip Jorgensen delivered a solid display and Maresca said: “In this moment, Robert needs rest and Filip was very good.” “We gave everything. It was relatively even in terms of chances. We come away with nothing in terms of the result but there was lots to be positive about,” Potter said.
