It's all over at the London Stadium as 10-man West Ham clinch a memorable 3-1 derby win over Chelsea! The Hammers were fortunate to go into half-time all square after Chukwuemeka cancelled out Aguerd's opener and Fernandez saw a penalty saved by Areola, but they were electric in the second period. Antonio restored their lead with an outstanding finish on the break, and though Aguerd's second yellow card put the result in doubt, Paqueta made certain of the win with a late penalty following an error from Chelsea new boy Caicedo. What a win for Moyes' men!
