10-Man West Ham Stun Pochettino’s Chelsea Side

West Ham recorded a thrilling 3-1 win over rivals Chelsea despite Nayef Aguerd’s red card to leave Mauricio Pochettino still waiting for his first victory in charge of the west London club.

Aguerd nodded West Ham into a seventh-minute lead, taking advantage of some non-existent Chelsea marking to head home debutant James Ward-Prowse’s inch-perfect corner kick, before Carney Chukwuemeka – later subbed with a knee injury – levelled with a delicious strike, the 19-year-old’s first in the Premier League.

West Ham, who handed a late debut to Edson Alvarez, move up to sixth in the table after their first win of the new campaign, while Chelsea are 15th and still looking for their first three points of the season.
