7″ Yellow Card! Arnautovic jumps into the crowd and gets booked for his celebration.
12″ This is definitely not the dream start Chelsea had in mind. Their players are struggling hard to come to terms with Arnautovic’s 6th minute shocker. Kante tries to lift the ball over the top of the West Ham’s defense for Hazard’s run, but his pass goes straight through to Adrian.
14″ PENALTY APPEAL! Morata turns away from Reid in the box and goes down under pressure, but the referee waves play on. He went to ground too easily.
