West Ham United scored twice in the second half to defeat Chelsea 3-1 in their English Premier League encounter at their London Stadium on Sunday.
Goals from Naif Aguerd, Michael Antonio and Lucas Paqueta’s penalty gave the Hammers their first win of the season while Carney Chukwuemeka briefly equalised for the Blues.
Aguerd headed in at the far post from James Ward-Prowse’s corner before Chukwuemeka fired into the top corner from the edge of the area on 38 minutes.
The visitors had a golden chance to take the lead before half-time but Enzo Fernandes saw his penalty saved.
West Ham took the initiative early in the second half when Antonio fired in a volley from 20 yards before Aguerd was sent off for a second booking.
The home side sealed the win in added time when Moises Caicedo gave away a penalty and Paqueta expertly converted as the Hammers took down their mega-spending neighbours.
The defeat means Chelsea remain winless in two matches this season, and are on a five-match winless run in the EPL.
Elsewhere, Aston Villa scored twice in each half to wallop Everton 4-0 at Villa Park. John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Leon Bailey and Jhon Duran were the goalscorers.
