Chelsea substitutes Kai Havertz and Ben Chilwell inspired a 2-1 comeback win over West Ham as VAR contentiously chalked off a late equaliser by Maxwel Cornet.

Thomas Tuchel's side could not afford another defeat after Tuesday's 2-1 loss at Southampton and things looked bleak for the home side when Michail Antonio poked in from close range to put West Ham in front (62).

But Chelsea roared back into life after going behind, with Chilwell equalising off the bench (76) before setting up Havertz for what proved to be the winner (88).

West Ham substitute Cornet, who struck the post with a free header before Havertz's late goal, thought he had redeemed himself with a stoppage-time winner only for VAR to rule the goal out for a very soft foul on Edouard Mendy by Jarrod Bowen.

Chelsea getting back to winning ways moves them momentarily up to fifth, while West Ham languish in 17th just above the relegation zone after claiming only one win from their opening six games.
