Chelsea came from behind to thrash West Ham 5-1 on Friday and leave former Blues manager Graham Potter under pressure just two games into the Premier League season.
Potter has won just five of 21 games since taking charge in January and has endured a miserable start to the new campaign after a 3-0 defeat to newly-promoted Sunderland last weekend.
Lucas Paqueta’s brilliant strike gave the home side hope early on, but they quickly capitulated.

Joao Pedro scored the first of Chelsea’s three goals from corners before Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez added to the world champions’ lead.
Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah then took advantage of a nightmare night for new West Ham goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.
“It was a tough evening for us. Against a top team, to concede the goals in the manner we have, it is an impossible task,” Potter said after the game.
The victory took Chelsea, who drew their opening game 0-0 against Crystal Palace, top of the Premier League for the first time since December 2021.
