West Ham defender Craig Dawson, one of their best players in a much-changed side, was shown a red card after a check by the video assistant referee after a clumsy foul on substitute Romelu Lukaku which resulted in the penalty. “We needed a win at home and it feels great in front of our fans. We need to finish the season strong ... some good league games and then a final [FA Cup against Liverpool]. I needed to come in and make a difference and show I want to be playing.”
Victory meant Chelsea went five points clear of fourth-placed Arsenal, with a match in hand against Mikel Arteta’s side. They can consolidate their position with a victory over struggling Manchester United on Thursday. Czech international Vydra slotted home the winner after Dwight McNeil's perfect pass found Wout Weghorst and the Dutchman squared for a first-time finish from his strike partner.
