Chelsea overcame West Ham this Sunday, at home, for the 34th round of the Premier League. After jorginho missed a penalty, Pulisic found a good opportunity at the end of the second half to score and give the victory to the Blues.
With the result, Thomas Tuchel’s men remain in third position, with now 65 points, and establish their classification in the Champions League. His opponent appears as seventh place, with 52 added.
The teams’ next commitment is for different competitions. While Chelsea visit United for the English next Thursday, at 15:45 (GMT), West Ham host Eintracht Frankfurt on the same day, at 16:00, for the first semi-final of the Europa League.
The first 45 minutes were very warm. Chelsea had more possession (70%) than their opponents, but found it very difficult to create goalscoring chances. West Ham are also not far from this scenario. The team presented no danger to Mendy.
The zero score mirrored what both teams showed in the first half: little movement and lack of aim.
In the second stage, Thomas Tuchel’s team woke up, however, in a missed penalty by Jorginho, the team slowed down.
In a roller coaster of scripts, the team did not let the fans go home with the defeat. Alonso was launched on the left, reached the baseline and crossed low into the area. Pulisic took it on the first try and declared victory.
