West Ham stun Chelsea 2-1

The match between West Ham and Chelsea played at the Olympic Stadium saw Chelsea make seven changes to the team that thrashed Manchester United 4-0 on Sunday.

The most notable inclusion was that of captain John Terry, returning from injury to the centre of a three-man defence.

Nigeria’s Victor Moses and Mikel Obi were conspicuously missing from the squad.

Crowd disturbances between rival fans marred the conclusion of West Ham’s EFL Cup fourth-round victory over Chelsea at the London Stadium.

Plastic bottles and seats were thrown towards the end of the match as hundreds of fans were involved in ugly scenes.

The flash points were a blot on what had been an entertaining night on the pitch as a much-changed Chelsea side were beaten by a cohesive and intense West Ham.

A superb Cheikhou Kouyate header before the break and an 18-yard Edimilson Fernandes strike a few minutes into the second half secured West Ham’s place in the last eight and a tie against Manchester United.

Gary Cahill swept home from close range in injury time, but it was only a consolation at the end of another difficult evening off the pitch for the Hammers.
