Chelsea boss celebrates thrashing West Ham | OneFootball

Chelsea demonstrated its offensive power by thrashing West Ham 5-1 on Friday (22), in the London classic that opened the second round of the English Championship. Coach Enzo Maresca celebrated the comeback.

"I'm very happy with today's game, but also with what we did last week. The game was good, but we didn't score. Today, we scored five times," celebrated the 'Blues' coach in an interview with the BBC.

Besides the victory, another good news for Chelsea was the return of defender Wesley Fofana, after five months away due to a thigh injury.

Disappointment of the hosts

On the other hand, West Ham is starting the season in a worrying way. The team was defeated in the debut by 3-0 by Sunderland, which has just been promoted from the second division.

The 'Hammers' were poorly defensive in their two games, which raised doubts about the need to bring reinforcements to the sector still in this transfer window.

"It was a tough night for us. Against a great team, if you concede goals like we did today, the task is impossible," lamented West Ham coach Graham Potter.
