An upset in London Stadium uplifting the Hammers hopes for their salvation


In today’s match considered vital for both sides in today’s London Derby, the Hammers got the better part thanks to a late score in the 89th minute by substitute Andriy Yarmolenko and leaving the Blues astounded.

With one of Premiership most contested of Derbies, for West Ham this win, not only these seize three valuable points but as well spells relief and uplifts their spirits in the remaining games looking ahead for their salvation. 

Somehow this win spelled relief for manager David Moyes and proving his wisdom of the game by making an effective move that in the end proved valuable for his team in the end. 

As this win gives the Irons a glimpse of a light in the end of the tunnel, with the way these played today and with the attitude in the remainder of the season, maybe these can stay put in the ranks of Premiership. 

In today’s game, the visiting Blues came determined for the win and with a 4-3-3 formation sent by Frank Lampard with Christian Pulisic and Willian in the outside accompanying Tammy Abraham in the middle to try and get some fireworks offensively.  

Contrary to David Moyes 4-3-2-1 sending a lone Michail Antonio in the frontal attack but flanked by Mario Lanzini in the middle, Pablo Fornals in the left and Jarrod Bowen in the right, the man from Scotland was looking for a counter in his attack. 

Still in this edition of the London Derby the only thing that both sides were looking for were points, but as expected for a team that has an anemic record of possession since the arrival of Moyes with just 36% of control.

This match immediate began in favor and dominance for Chelsea, creating several opportunities earlier and coming short of their objective, until the 33 when Hammers Souchek's goal was disallowed by VAR. 

However, this did not stop both teams as in the 42’ when Issa Diop committed a foul over Pulicic and Willian converted to give the Blues the lead but not until the end of the half when Tomas Soucek goal was allowed.

Going into the end of the first half both sides tied a goal apiece, the remainder of the game delivered another goal by Michail Antonio in the 51’ to give the Hammers the lead but later in the 72’ Willian delivered his second goal an equalizing the match. 

A win with the essence of an upset to the visiting Blues and denying them the chance to move up to the third spot after Leicester City loss to Everton and for West Ham three golden points placing them in 16th place.
