Zapping Our Mondial Hugo Lloris: The big dates in blue
A draw that does not suit anyone. As they both launched the 23rd day of the Premier League, West Ham and Chelsea had to win in the quest to maintain the first and the Top 4 for the second. It was the Blues, with their new recruits, who made the best impression at the start of the match and who were justly rewarded by the opening of João Félix (16th), who scored his first goal in his new colors for his return after three games. suspension.
He is back with Chelsea, and what a comeback! 🔝

Graham Potter’s men dominated the proceedings but would pay for their poor defense ten minutes later. It was enough for Emerson to bring the two teams tied. Out of respect for his former club, the Italian international did not celebrate his goal. If Chelsea then held the ball, they would not have been effective enough to take the three points. And it could have been even worse had it not been for the intervention of VAR which rightly denied a goal from Vladimir Soucek.
Following this draw, Chelsea remain ninth and West Ham provisionally take fifteenth place.
