The Mexican Edson Álvarez participated for 46 minutes and could do little to contain a round match by Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
Strategist David Moyes tried to adjust a midfield that he could never repair and that is why he removed the Mexican from the game, giving his place to James Ward Prowse.
Edson only won one one-on-one of the four he faced and was effective in long passes on two of five opportunities, reasons that could have influenced Moyes’ decision to try to adjust his midfield.
Despite this, Edson once again showed that he has a good game and makes his teammates play since he made 16 of 21 possible passes, being 76% effective when releasing the ball.
Chelsea took the lead from the 15th minute through Cole Palmer, at the 30th minute Conor Gallagher scored and at the 36th minute Noni Maduke scored, with that 3-0 they went to half-time and the win would continue in the complement.
Just at 48′ minutes came a goal from Nicolas Jackson and Jackson himself would close it at 80′ minutes, with the result Chelsea is in 54th place and for now remains out of the European competition positions.
West Ham is in ninth position with 49 points and although it is saved from relegation, it is difficult for it to qualify for the continental tournaments.
