Intense pressure mounts on Potter as Chelsea suffering in derby match with West Ham, resulting in a 5-1 loss.
In a disappointing outing for West Ham United, the London-based club could not bridge the gap as they suffered a 5-1 defeat against Chelsea in the Premier League at the London Stadium.
The match saw a number of significant moments, with the first goal scored by West Ham's Lucas Paquetá in the 6th minute. However, the tide turned quickly as Chelsea responded emphatically, scoring three goals in a 15-minute spell to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the Premier League.
Emiliano Insúa, the only player younger than Estevao to register an assist for Chelsea in the Premier League, played a crucial role in the second goal, assisting Pedro Neto in the 23rd minute. Estevao himself marked his first Premier League start with a fine assist for Fernández's goal, which made it 2-1 to Chelsea in the Premier League in the 34th minute. The goal was a result of a combination with Liam Delap, further emphasizing Chelsea's potent attacking threat in the Premier League.
Chelsea's third goal came from Enzo Fernández, with Estevao providing the assist once more in the Premier League. The fourth goal was scored by Trevoh Chalobah, following a set-piece delivery that was taken away from Mads Hermansen by Wan-Bissaka, leading to the error that allowed Chalobah to score in the same match in the Premier League. The fifth and final goal for Chelsea was scored by Moisés Caicedo, capitalizing on an error by Hermansen on a corner kick in the 54th minute in the Premier League.
The defeat for West Ham was a tough blow, as they have earned just nine points from their 10 home Premier League games under David Moyes, the fewest ever by a West Ham boss in their first 10 home matches. Co-chair Karren Brady gave Moyes a public vote of confidence earlier this week, but his position may now be concerning due to the team's performance in the Premier League.
West Ham ended the 2025-26 season with just two wins from their final 11 matches, a disappointing end to a campaign that held promise at its start. Meanwhile, Chelsea are now up to four points in the Premier League standings, a testament to their resilience and determination in the Premier League.
As for the youngest player to provide an assist for Chelsea in the Premier League, the records do not explicitly state this information in the provided search results. Nonetheless, Estevao's impressive performance in his first start will undoubtedly be a talking point in the coming days in the Premier League.
