Evening Standard

Chelsea struggled back from a goal down to beat Graham Potter's West Ham United 2-1 on Monday, with a second-half strike from substitute Pedro Neto and an own goal by Aaron Wan-Bissaka lifting them to fourth place in the Premier League.Jarrod Bowen, in his first game back after a month out with a foot fracture, put the Hammers ahead when he pounced on a back pass by defender Levi Colwill three minutes before halftime and fired a left-foot shot past Filip Jorgensen in Chelsea's goal.

00:00Well it's all over here at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea were able to put to the back of their minds

00:04the raft of outgoings that they had on transfer deadline day and get over the line here. They

00:09moved up to fourth in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over West Ham and it was a clinical

00:14win really. I don't think it was the best Chelsea performance we've seen this season it was a decent

00:18West Ham performance as well but for Chelsea they were able to celebrate a 2-1 win thanks to goals

00:24in the second half by Pedro Neto and the winning goal an own goal from Aaron Wan-Bissaka after a

00:31cross across the face of goal by Cole Palmer deflected off Wan-Bissaka and went in. Those

00:36were two pretty unfortunate goals for West Ham to concede and I think that they acquitted themselves

00:42well. Graham Potter didn't get the result he wanted on his return to Stamford Bridge. Of course he

00:47was the Chelsea manager it was over 670 days ago now but he was last in the dugout for Chelsea.

00:54Here he was in the away dugout but he wasn't able to come away with all three points.

00:58West Ham stay 15th with a defeat but they are boosted today transfer deadline day with

01:04the signings of Evan Ferguson on loan from Brighton and James Ward-Prouse returning early

01:09from his loan spell at Nottingham Forest.
