Report and highlights as Hammers claim first Premier League win at Stamford Bridge since 2003 to end eight-game winless run
Last Updated: 30/11/19 5:14pm
2:59 West Ham ended a 17-year wait for a Premier League victory at Stamford Bridge as Aaron Cresswell’s strike saw them beat Chelsea 1-0 to ease the pressure on manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Cresswell scored the decisive goal three minutes into the second half, curling a low right-footed shot beyond Kepa Arrizabalaga, and the Hammers’ victory would have been more secure had Michail Antonio not had a second ruled out by VAR.
Chelsea registered 19 shots on goal but, with Tammy Abraham out injured, the Blues lacked the clinical edge as they slipped to back-to-back league defeats under Frank Lampard for the first time.
West Ham’s first victory away at Chelsea since 2002 ends an alarming eight-game winless run and sees them climb up to 13th in the table.
