Areola repays Moyes' faith with huge penalty save as Caicedo has a day to forget
Chelsea fell to defeat at the hands of David Moyes' West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday evening.
James Ward-Prowse was the pick of the bunch on his debut for the Irons, grabbing himself two assists in the win.
Picking out Nayer Aguerd, the Moroccan headed home to give the Irons an early lead.
However, Carney Chukwuemeka equalised for Chelsea with a fine strike before half-time, turning onto his right foot in the West Ham box before firing home.
His match came to an early end as the midfielder was forced off before half-time just after Chelsea were awarded a penalty... which Enzo Fernandez saw saved by Alphonse Areola.
Michail Antonio fired his side ahead in the second half, with Ward-Prowse getting the assist with a fine pass once again.
Things went pear shaped for the Irons as Aguerd was sent off for two yellow cards, but Moyes' side rallied around and stayed strong in defence.
The points were wrapped up when Moises Caicedo, who made his debut from the bench, brought down Emerson Palmieri in the box before Lucas Paqueta stepped up to convert from the spot.

Kurt Zouma 6
Donning the captains armband, Zouma had a solid performance at the back. He was unable to keep up with the runs of Jackson on several occasions though.
Nayef Aguerd 5
It was a mixed
