It was another difficult afternoon for Chelsea but the Blues pulled through thanks to goals from Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz.

Unfortunately, his memorable moment saw him dispossessed as Maxwel Cornet almost won the game for West Ham. Jorginho - Had less than 10 minutes to make his mark. Changed the game and delivered the ball to Kai Havertz to net the winner. Christian Pulisic - It was the first start of the season for the American, and was perhaps Chelsea's most likely player to threaten the opposition goal in the opening half. Mateo Kovacic - The Croatian showed some good passing but did not take control of the tempo how he so often can. Generally shown as an option for the back three to play the ball in a solid outing. Ruben Loftus-Cheek - The midfielder made his fifth start in a row and opened the game with some strong challenges but picked up a yellow card after just nine minutes. Reece James - The wing-back was the player Chelsea primarily looked to when camped in the Hammers half but was often faced with stagnant targets. His passing was not as high quality as he displayed earlier in his Blues tenure. 6. Chelsea's stopper went down before Maxwell Cornet put the ball in the net and was fortunate to see the goal ruled out. Edouard Mendy - The Blues goalkeeper was untested in the opening half of the match and faced more pressure in the second.

Cornet smashed home after a mix-up at the back for Chelsea, but the goal was chalked off after Jarrod Bowen was deemed to have committed a foul on keeper ...

[Marc Cucurella](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259910/Marc-Cucurella) was forced into a block from a Bowen effort in the 57th minute and the West Ham forward tested Mendy with a volley in the 62nd minute -- the game's first shot on target. [Conor Gallagher](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/266696/Conor-Gallagher) halted [Michail Antonio](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/129737/Michail-Antonio) as the striker mounted a West Ham counter-attack.

The left back deftly tapped a loose ball through the legs of a leaping Lukasz Fabianski to make it 1-1 in the 76th minute and then sent a near-post ping for fellow sub Kai Havertz to direct home. I support a lot of the VAR stuff, I actually think the goalkeeper dives, he is faking an injury because he cannot get to the next one – he did the same on the first goal as well. Chilwell, Havertz deliver off bench: Marc Cucurella was lively at left back but perhaps a bit wasteful, and Ben Chilwell got 18 minutes to rectify the left side. Playing in front of Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek — quite a midfield trio — Paqueta got stuck into 12 duels, winning 7, while managing four clearances, a blocked shot, two interceptions, and two tackles on a day he highlighted the defensive part of his complete acumen. Chelsea catches a break as VAR takes away West Ham equalizer: Edouard Mendy’s soft bid to clear a ball out of danger saw a leaping Jarrod Bowen clip the keeper’s arm on his followthrough. USMNT forward Christian Pulisic played the first 60 minutes for Chelsea, who heads into its first UEFA Champions League group stage match with three wins, a draw, and two losses.

"The sad thing is that this is the level of our elite refereeing at the moment. The referee should have stuck to his own guns and been big enough to do what he said. Another plus for Chelsea, who have lacked a cutting edge up front for most of the season. It was Chilwell who stole the show, though, providing a goal and an assist from the left wing-back position. The West Ham forward, though, can feel aggrieved after VAR harshly ruled out what would have been an 89th-minute equaliser for a soft challenge on Mendy by Bowen. The best chance of the half fell to Christian Pulisic, but his tame effort was blocked by West Ham's record-signing Lucas Paqueta on his full league debut.

Chelsea steals three points in a 2-1 home win after a late Kai Havertz winner. Here are the player ratings from the game.

Chiwell came on in the 72nd minute and completely changed the game for the Blues today. The German international scored Chelsea's winner, maybe being dropped has brought the best out of him Pulisic wasn't really involved in the game too much and struggled to create chances. well deserved man of the match. Jorginho - 5 James came back into the Chelsea side today after dropping out of the squad last week due to illness. Fofana made his debut today as a Chelsea player and showed what he was all about. Mason Mount - 5 Looked better today but still doesn't fit perfectly into Chelsea midfield yet. Christian Pulisic - 5 Marc Cucurella - 5 Edouard Mendy - 5

Just three days after completing his £75m move from Leicester, Wesley Fofana started for Chelsea in a London derby against West Ham.

[Conor Gallagher](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/266696/Conor-Gallagher), 7 -- Gallagher looked to get forward and occupy the No. [Wesley Fofana](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/270190/Wesley-Fofana), 6 -- Chelsea's new £75 million centre-back didn't look troubled on his Premier League debut for Chelsea, though that was in part due to West Ham's lack of promise going forward. The 23-year-old was direct with the ball when in possession, but he could have been helped by better movement from his team. [Jarrod Bowen](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/201089/Jarrod-Bowen) started the second half strongly with some direct play that allowed him to get a cross in from the byline after beating [Marc Cucurella](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259910/Marc-Cucurella), though that did little to ignite the home side, who continued to be frustrated by the Irons' defence. He looked to be Chelsea's most effective player when the Blues went 1-0 down, with his crosses from wide positions asking questions of West Ham's defence. national team star ran the channels positively for Chelsea and was able to help link plenty of his side's most promising attacks. He may count himself lucky after his poor header back to his own goal saw the resultant goal chalked off by VAR. GK Edouard Mendy, 4 -- Chelsea's goalkeeper rarely had much to deal with across the game, and that may have affected his concentration with his clearance that went into the path of Rice who assisted West Ham's opener. Chilwell's introduction worked out to be an excellent decision from the Blues manager. It's vital to be able to grind out games in the Premier League, and they did that today with a little help from VAR. Mendy also looked to be low in confidence when being asked to deal with high-pressure situations. "I am amazed that VAR sent the referee to see it.

West Ham United boss David Moyes labelled the VAR decision to rule out an equaliser in their 2-1 Premier League defeat at Chelsea "scandalous."

In my opinion, it is a foul," Tuchel said. The referee somehow gets that so wrong, it is incredible." "I thought even if he goes to the TV, there's no way he's overturning it. The goalkeeper comes to take it [the ball] and actually fumbles it about five or six yards then he acts as if he's got a shoulder injury. "It went in our favour and there's a reason it went in our favour. "Have you seen it?

And then things got weird, with Maxwel Cornet hitting the post for the visitors, Kai Havertz scoring a goal at the other end immediately after, Maxwell Cornet ...

Jorginho on for RLC late on. That slow attrition lasted from minute 1 to just past the hour-mark, and made for some extremely boring viewing. Mount also added, with Chilwell and Havertz following soon after.

Super subs Chilwell and Havertz -- and a controversial VAR reprieve -- deliver Chelsea a 2-1 win over West Ham United on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.

[Jarrod [Bowen]](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jarrod-bowen/profil/spieler/314875) says he hasn't touched the goalkeeper at all.
