EPL: West Ham Humbles Leaders Chelsea 3-2 -By Shereefdeen Sawe

The Premier league table leader, Chelsea, suffered a 3-2 shell-shock defeat against West Ham on Saturday, thanks to Masuaka late goal at the 87th minute.

The Blues took the lead when Thiago Silva headed home a corner swung in by Mason Mount at the 28th minute of the game.

But the hosts brought the game back to parity at the 40th minute following a poor communication between Jorginho and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy as the goalkeeper fouled Jarrod Bowen to save the poor back pass which the referee awarded a penalty, and Lanzini converted it to goal.

Mason Mount restored Thomas Tuchel’s side lead four minutes after the game was levelled, courtesy of a long pass from Hakim Ziyech. But the Hammers levelled again at the 56th minute through Jarrod Bowen.

Masuaka scored the winner at 87th minute with what looked like a cross but the ball found its way into the net to earn West Ham all three points on Saturday.

The Blues are now one point ahead of Manchester City who travels to Watford later Saturday, and one point behind Liverpool who won 1-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
