Andy Carroll gives Hammers win over 10-man Blues after Jose Mourinho sent to the stands
West Ham United 2 Chelsea 1
Miguel Delaney Upton Park

Another Chelsea defeat, more chaos engulfing the club and that one big question that looms ever greater. Jose Mourinho refused to answer any questions, or  speak to the media  at all, after being sent off for a half-time incident, but the details of this deserved West Ham United win almost said enough.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants to give Mourinho time to turn this around  but that stance will not just be tested by a fourth League loss of the season, after Andy Carroll powered in a late winner. There was also the farcical nature of the performance, as the champions were so aggressive in their reactions to the referee Jonathan Moss’s decisions, but so meek in trying to attack.

The match ended with Nemanja Matic sent off for two bookings, Mourinho and his assistant Silvino Louro following the Serbian down the tunnel, and a further four Chelsea players booked due to so many remonstrations. Amid all of that, there was the most borderline goal decision that the game will see, as Kurt Zouma was denied a goal by millimetres. That proved key.
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic jokingly asked how many incidents there were in the game, and offered some sympathy to Mourinho. “I would definitely moan if it was against us,” Bilic said, “but they weren’t mistakes.” He added: “I feel for Mourinho. A lot of decisions from his point of view have gone against him.” It all added up, however, to what the Croatian described as a “brilliant win”. Chelsea felt anything but brilliant. Gary Cahill said they were “devastated”.
It is often said how cruelly thin the margins can be at this level, but it is rarely so literal. Chelsea had been building after Mauro Zarate’s opening goal for West Ham, until Zouma powered a header at goal. Goal decision technology dictated that not all of the ball had crossed the line, although it looked like more than 90 per cent of it had, and thereafter: total meltdown.

West Ham had been good value for their lead, with Dimitri Payet constantly causing problems. It was his corner that brought the opening goal after 17 minutes. Diego Costa fluffed the clearance but there was no such hesitation from Zarate, as he thrashed the ball past Asmir Begovic.
Chelsea did respond well, with Costa and Willian looking dangerous. Zouma thought he had scored, and Cesc Fabregas had the ball in the net, only to be ruled offside. It was not the only decision to go against Chelsea in a remarkable 10-minute spell. Matic had been booked|for cynically taking down Cheikhou Kouyaté in the counter-attack that came straight from Zouma’s header, and then subjected Diafra Sakho to a similar challenge down the right.

The West Ham players surrounded the referee and, after some deliberation, the official produced a second yellow for Matic. He then had to produce another two cards in quick succession as, once the decision was made, it was Chelsea’s turn to surround the referee. Moss was in no mood to indulge it, and put John Terry in the book, followed by Fabregas. The recriminations, and dismissals, were not finished there, as Louro remonstrated with the fourth official and was ordered off. Throughout all of this, Mourinho stood looking incredulous on the touchline, occasionally adding a sarcastic clap.
It seems he was much more abrasive in the tunnel, as the Portuguese was also sent off, with speculation that he had attempted to enter the referee’s room. Either way, he watched the second half from the directors’ box. The irony was that Chelsea were fortunate to be just  1-0 down. Just before all the chaos began, Manuel Lanzini should have scored, only to chip the ball over Begovic rather than finish.
Chelsea made West Ham pay for that 10 minutes into the second half.  They made the decision to bring off the under-performing Fabregas for John Obi Mikel, and he did temporarily steady the team. After 56 minutes, Chelsea won a corner, from which Cahill powered an equaliser past Adrian.
There was still too much anxiety about Chelsea, too much panic every time West Ham got close. Too many clearances were hacked away, and Begovic was forced into whacking the ball out for a corner under pressure. That told. After 79 minutes, Aaron Cresswell hooked a cross over for substitute Carroll, who easily headed it home. Chelsea’s reaction was meek. Mourinho was left stony-faced in the stands. The wonder now is what Abramovich’s reaction  will be.

Andy Carroll scores West Ham’s winner to heap pressure on Chelsea
West Ham 2 - 1 Chelsea
Paul Doyle at Upton Park

West Ham deserved to win. It is worth highlighting that fact lest it be obscured by the fallout to Chelsea’s disciplinary meltdown.
The champions had Nemanja Matic sent off in the first half, two players booked for protesting against that decision, their assistant first-team coach, Silvino Louro, dismissed for haranguing the fourth official and José Mourinho banished to the stands at half-time.
The Portuguese manager has recently taken to describing referees, whose performances displease him, as “weak and naive” – pointedly borrowing the term from Arsène Wenger – but this was a demonstration of strength by referee Jonathan Moss, who was not prepared to let Chelsea personnel tell him how to do his job. Chelsea did not do their own job as well as champions should. Defensively it is they who have been weak and naive this season. There were suggestions before this match that they were improving on that front – two consecutive clean sheets served as evidence – but West Ham ran a serious stress test and Chelsea failed it.
Even amid a cagey opening there were signs that betrayed the principles that Mourinho teams have traditionally applied, with Cesc Fàbregas, deployed in an advanced midfield role, acting as the sort of luxury player that the Portuguese has never tolerated.
The Spaniard seemed sluggish at the start and his unconvincing tackle on Dimitri Payet in the 16th minute led to the home side’s opening goal. The Frenchman took the resultant 25-yard free-kick himself. He had fired over the bar from a similar distance earlier but this effort was more accurate and forced Asmir Begovic to improvise a save, the goalkeeper tipping the ball over the bar to concede a corner. Payet delivered the set piece and Diego Costa, one of Chelsea’s most energetic performers, botched an attempted clearance, allowing the ball to bobble out to the edge of the area, where Mauro Zárate arrived to lash a splendid low shot into the net.

“You’re getting sacked in the morning!” crowed the home fans as Mourinho fumed in the dugout. The visiting manager knew that his team would now have to pierce hosts who could afford to play as they had when achieving memorable victories away to Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City this season. It was a while before Chelsea looked like rising to that task but eventually they did summon more intensity and creativity.
Kurt Zouma came within millimetres of equalising from a corner but Manuel Lanzini scrambled the right-back’s close-ranger header off the line.
The home side remained dangerous on the counterattack. Begovic blocked a James Collins header in the 36th minute. Moments later, Lanzini should have doubled the home side’s lead after being put through courtesy of a beautiful flick by Payet. Lanzini clipped the ball over the advancing Begovic but it flew over the bar, too.
Costa put a proper clearance on a West Ham corner in the 44th minute and it led to a wonderful counterattacking chance, with four Chelsea players racing towards two West Ham defenders. Willian slipped a pass through to Fàbregas, who cracked a low shot into the net – but the Spaniard was ruled to have been offside. Within a minute Chelsea lost a player and the plot.
Matic, on a booking for a previous foul on Lanzini, was adjudged to have tripped Diafra Sakho and was shown a second yellow by Moss. The visitors surrounded the official to vent their anger. That, at least, was like the old Chelsea.
Moss showed two of the offenders, Fàbregas and John Terry, yellow cards and then sent Louro to the stands for berating the fourth official. Mourinho watched the second half from the directors’ box, having been ordered not to return to the sidelines.

A man down on the pitch and two down in the dugout, Chelsea faced a stern character test now, on top of their footballing trial. Their initial response was decent. With Mikel John Obi introduced for Fàbregas during the break the visitors got a grip on the game despite their numerical disadvantage. Eleven minutes into the second period they drew level, Gary Cahill whacking a bouncing ball into the net from close range after Zouma flicked on a corner.
West Ham battled to regain the upper hand. Payet was a constant menace, probing and conniving relentlessly. But with Mikel joining Ramires in protecting the back four, Chelsea defended well.
Mourinho’s men retained their ambition to attack when they could. Ramires should have made Adrian work in the 77th minute after being teed up by Eden Hazard, but the Brazilian miskicked from 16 yards.
That proved costly, as two minutes later, Slaven Bilic’s decision to spring Andy Carroll from the bench paid off. The striker leapt to meet a fine cross from the left by Aaron Cresswell and sent a powerful header into the net from 10 yards.
Chelsea’s fifth league defeat of the season was complete, their problems nowhere near over.

West Ham 2 Chelsea 1
Jose Mourinho and Nemanja Matic red carded as Andy Carroll scores winner
This fifth defeat of the Premier League season might just be the most damaging of them all

By  Sam Wallace

“A lonely guy” was how Jose Mourinho described his life last week at the glittering, elite-end of football managing some of the biggest clubs in the world, and you get the impression that it does not get any lonelier than standing at the back of the West Ham United directors’ box watching your champions crumble yet again.

The fifth league defeat of the season for Chelsea and the screw is turning on Mourinho in the third season of his ­second spell at the club, when ever more the question is not whether the Premier League champions can compete to defend their title but just how long their manager can survive.

Sent off at half-time and forced to watch the game from the directors’ box, Mourinho ignored all post-match interview requests to get straight on the team bus afterwards, giving the afternoon more than just a whiff of impending catastrophe. The meltdown had begun with a 43rd-minute red card for Nemanja Matic, then another for coach Silvino Louro, and once again Chelsea fell apart under pressure.

There was no immediate mood around the club to dispatch the most successful manager in their history, although as Mourinho’s side face Stoke City away in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday, and then Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool on Saturday, you do have to wonder when this will change. ­Mourinho’s team are utterly beleaguered. He has dropped, admonished, cajoled and prematurely substituted them and nothing is working.

The suspicion is that he will blame the referee Jon Moss for this latest ­defeat, although he need look no further than the inexplicable decision by Matic to bundle over Cheikhou ­Kouyate by the touchline two minutes before half-time when he was already on a booking. The suggestion is that Mourinho then confronted Moss at half-time and was invited to enter the referee’s room where he was sent to the stands, watching at the back of the directors’ box.

If yet another Football Association charge is on its way for Mourinho then this is getting tiresome. He already has a suspended fine and stadium ban hanging over him for his remarks about referee Bobby Madeley after the Southampton defeat. Mourinho at war with the world is fine when he is ­winning but it the sympathy runs dry when they are 15th in the table after 10 games.
The club’s statement in support of Mourinho was issued on 5 October after the Southampton game, and since then they have won against Aston Villa, drawn with Dynamo Kiev and now lost to West Ham. It is not exactly the sharp upturn in fortunes – “the team’s performances must improve” as the club said – that was anticipated in that statement.

Amid the chaos and the three red cards, Cesc Fabregas was also substituted at half-time, a surprise given that at that point Chelsea were a goal down and a man light. Fabregas has been one of the senior players to have been spared the wrath of his manager so far and while he was on a booking it was curious to see him replaced by John Obi Mikel – not your obvious choice of a midfielder for a side badly in need of a goal.
It was easy to overlook West Ham’s achievement in the midst of all this, with a first goal from Andy Carroll this season winning the game for them.

At full-time they were up to second in the table with Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and now Chelsea all having fallen to Slaven Bilic’s team who played with a confidence that Chelsea lacked. “I feel for him,” Bilic said, talking about Mourinho afterwards. “A lot of decisions from his point of view have gone against Chelsea.”
Bilic said the second of Matic’s yellow cards was a matter of opinion that could have gone either way. So too a disallowed goal for Fabregas in the first half which was a very marginal offside.

Mourinho will also have cursed his luck with a very close goal decision system call that ruled all but a fraction of the ball had not crossed the line
from Kurt Zouma’s header – but there can be no arguing with the technology. The first West Ham goal came on 17 minutes when Diego Costa and Ramires failed to clear the ball from Dmitri Payet’s cross and it dropped at the back post to Mauro Zarate who dispatched it sharply past Asmir Begovic.

They got their equaliser 10 minutes after half-time when Zouma challenged for a Willian corner and the ball dropped for Gary Cahill to strike a quick, clean half-volley past Adrian. In the end, West Ham made good use of their advantage, when Carroll met a cross from Aaron Cresswell to score.
Begovic had come for the ball and then stopped and Carroll saw his chance.
There was hardly a Chelsea official left on the bench to argue with Moss come the end.

Mail:

West Ham 2-1 Chelsea: Andy Carroll scores winner as Jose Mourinho is sent to the stands after Nemanja Matic red card
By Rob Draper for The Mail on Sunday 

Where once there was structure and order to Chelsea, now there is simply rank indiscipline.
At Upton Park, for the last time, they were added to West Ham’s victims. Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City have all fallen to Slaven Bilic’s men; now Jose Mourinho’s team.
Yet Mourinho lost more than the match on Saturday. Dignity was also sacrificed amidst a chaotic breakdown of order which saw six players booked, one sent off and Mourinho and his assistant Silvino Louro also dismissed.
And whilst they can claim a degree of bad luck - they had one effort ruled out by the tiniest margin on the goal-line review and another wrongly disallowed for offside - they were principally the authors of their own misfortune.
The management and players simply emotionally fell apart when Nemanja Matic was correctly sent off just before half time.
The fact that Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas managed to get themselves booked in the ensuing argument indicated a team without self control.
Yet when assistant coach Louro came racing from the bench a minute later, to berate fourth official Andy Woolmer for a missed offside and also received a red card, the sense of the team being in the verge of a nervous breakdown was merely exacerbated.

And the clinching piece of evidence that the club’s season is imploding amidst a misplaced sense of righteous indignation came with confirmation that Mourinho had been sent off to the stands at half time.
Quite how long Roman Abramovich will put up with a combination of the inflammatory behaviour and terrible results is now a matter for serious debate rather than idle speculation.
Mourinho, Premier League champion in imperious style just six months ago, is now precariously positioned.
The FA charges, the baiting of opponents, the sense of disorder in the camp: Abramovich had tired of it all once before. There seems no reason why he should not do so once again.
Essentially clubs put up with days like Saturday when results are good; but if all you can offer is aggravation and defeats, then you have served your usefulness as coach.
For the record West Ham were excellent even before the mini meltdown from Chelsea, with Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini giving Kurt Zouma a torrid time long before it had become 10 versus 11.
And even Chelsea had their good periods.
In fact, for much of the second half, incredibly given the leadership, the discipline returned and they looked as though they might rescue an unlikely point. 
Yet the damage had been done; effectively they had been holed below the water line by the earlier indiscretions.
Pity Bilic, whose team were well worth their win and who are now up to third in the Premier League. He was determined to talk about the game, yet saw his players’ good efforts overshadowed by the mini-drama series which is unfolding at Chelsea.
‘I feel for Mourinho,’ he conceded. ‘A lot of decisions from his point of view have gone against Chelsea. Against Southampton, against Dynamo Kiev.
'Today I can defend the decisions from West Ham’s perspectives. They weren’t mistakes, they were pinion. But all together it is too much for him and I would probably be the same.’
There were elements of Chelsea’s slapdash nature of their play in West Ham’s opener on 17 minutes. Payet’s corner was met by a poor defensive header from Ramires, but even then, his team-mates failed to respond or react as the ball bounced for Mauro Zarate, who struck it sweetly past Asmir Begovic.
But Chelsea’s sense of frustration and injustice stemmed from a short period just before half time, which proved decisive. When Zouma met Fabregas’ corner on 35 minutes, Lanzini tried to clear but looked to have allowed the ball over the line.
He hadn’t, but only just. The goal-line review technology showed that a centimetre more would have suffice for all of the ball to be over the line.
And on 43 minutes they were denied when Willian found Fabregas and the Catalan was ruled offside. Bilic said it was 50-50, but in that case the ruling should be in favour of the attacking side.
Doubtless that frustration contributed to what followed but the reality is that there was little to complain about at the inception of the 44th minute meltdown.
Matic had already been found wanting in midfield and had hauled back Cheikhou Kouyate to receive a yellow card on 36 minutes. On 44 minutes he manhandled Diafra Sakho to the ground and received his second yellow card, prompting the overload of aggrieved protests from Chelsea players and coaches.
Ironically, after their initial tantrum, Chelsea started the second half very well. The back four, Mikel and Ramires looked formidable and on 55 minutes they looked to have found themselves an escape route from crisis. Zouma and Cahill jumped for a corner, West Ham failed to clear and Cahill struck superbly well from close range to equalise.
With a Costa header and a run by Hazard to feed Ramires, their afternoon might have even taken an unexpected turn for the best.
But then came Andy Carroll. Deployed again as a late substitute, again he proved decisive. John Terry couldn’t clear his lines properly on 79 minutes and Aaron Cresswell crossed. This time Cesar Azpilicueta was at fault, failing to jump and looking overwhelmed by the imposing Carroll who rose to head home.
How the Boleyn Ground roared as Carroll set off to celebrate in front of The Chicken Run. They may never play Chelsea here again, but at least this was some finale in the old stadium’s final season.

West Ham 2-1 Chelsea: 5 things we learned as Mourinho and Matic see red in Upton Park meltdown

 By Neil McLeman
 
Chelsea had Nemanja Matic sent off while Jose Mourinho also ended up in the stands before Andy Carroll headed home late on
Super sub Andy Carroll inflicted a fifth defeat of the season on Chelsea after Jose Mourinho was sent off at half-time.
The Chelsea boss was dismissed after an extraordinary first half which saw the reigning champions trail to a 17th-minute Mauro Zarate goal – and Nemanja Matic and assistant coach Silvino Louro sent off.

The Blues bench was furious that the Serbian midfielder was shown a second yellow just two minutes after Cesc Fabregas had a legitimate goal disallowed for offside. Louro was sent to the stands for protesting Matic's dismissal.
The Special One replaced the Spaniard with John Mikel at half-time before he watched the second half from the West Ham director's box.
Gary Cahill lashed home a 56th-minute equaliser and a great rearguard effort seemed set to salvage the Blues a point.
But Carroll, who came on after 68 minutes, headed home the winner 10 minutes later for his first goal since January. Here's what we learned.
 
1) Crisis far from over

Last weekend's win over Aston Villa and the midweek draw at Dinamo Kiev suggested the corner had been turned.
Even after falling behind to an early goal and seeing Nemanja Matic sent off, they fought back bravely after the break and were 12 minutes from salvaging a point.

2) Andy Carroll is back

Slaven Bilic has lots of silky attacking options but the raw power of the England striker is still invaluable.
Last week he came on to wreak havoc as West Ham scored two late goals to win at Crystal Palace.
Against a dogged Chelsea defence, his back-post header earned another three points.

3) Payet outshining Hazard

The two played together for a season at Lille before the Belgian's £32m transfer to Chelsea.
But last season's Player of the Year was again ineffective while the Frenchman dazzled down the West Ham left.

4) Chelsea struggling for top four

Chelsea are now not fighting for the title. They are struggling to reach the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho's side lost three matches in winning the title last year.
They have now lost five and could be 12 points behind Manchester City by tomorrow night.

5) West Ham love to hate Chelsea

John Terry's every touch was booed while Jose Mourinho was serenaded with: “You're getting sacked in the morning” followed by “You're not special anymore” before his half-time dismissal.
Upton Park's final victory over Chelsea was the special one.

West Ham 2 - Chelsea 1: Mourinho and Matic see red as Carroll turns up the heat

JOSE MOURINHO must be wondering just what else can go wrong this season.

Gary Cahill lashed home what looked like a point-winning equaliser for the battling, 10-man Blues.
But 11 minutes from time, fit-again Andy Carroll won it for West Ham with a towering header from Aaron Cresswell's fine cross for his first goal of the season.

But 11 minutes from time, fit-again Andy Carroll won it for West Ham with a towering header from Aaron Cresswell's fine cross for his first goal of the season.

Cahill said later: "We've not had the rub of the green, but we're not feeling sorry for ourselves. We have to work hard to turn this round."
Earlier, Mourinho had seen Mauro Zarate give West Ham the lead and Kurt Zouma and Cesc Fabregas denied goals by goal-line technology and an offside decision.

Then there were Chelsea's disciplinary problems - Nemanja Matic sent off and coach Silvino Louro dismissed. And then Mourinho also ended up in the stands.
So a point would have been some consolation on a day when, for once, West Ham probably considered themselves favourites to win this London derby.
They started the day as a top-four team, usually an area occupied by the modern-day Chelsea, who have made a poor start to the season.
The champions were the more threatening side at the start, with Diego Costa prominent.

The Blues striker lashed the game's first chance over the bar, then glanced a header wide.
Chelsea, however, were behind in the 17th minute, after Asmir Begovic had turned a well-struck Dimitri Payet free-kick over the bar.
Payet took the resultant corner, which was only partially cleared by Costa. The ball travelled to Zarate, who drove a low, right-foot effort through a crowded goalmouth and inside Begovic's near post.
The irony of the goal was that the Argentinian was playing only because Victor Moses was not allowed to, as he is on loan from Chelsea.
Zarate's goal prompted the first round of "your getting sacked in the morning" chants, aimed at Mourinho by the West Ham fans.
Chelsea, though, were unlucky not to equalise before half-time.

Adrian made a superb save from a Willian free-kick, then Zouma thought he had scored with a downward header, but Manuel Lanzini cleared off the line.
Nine-tenths of the ball seemed to be over the line - and after that things went from bad to worse for Chelsea.
Fabregas had a goal disallowed for a marginal offside decision, then Matic was sent off on the stroke of half-time after two yellow-card fouls on Diafra Sakho.
In the aftermath, as Chelsea protested, coach Louro was sent to the stands after an altercation with fourth official Andy Woolmer.
And yellow cards were also shown to skipper John Terry and Fabregas.
Mourinho himself was then sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss at half-time and watched the second half from the directors' box.
Meanwhile, Begovic held a James Collins header and Lanzini lobbed over when he should have scored as the Hammers threatened a second goal before the break.

Chelsea showed their fighting qualities with a 56th-minute equaliser. Willian's corner from the left broke to Cahill, who lashed home a right-foot drive.
But Carroll's late header condemned Chelsea to their fifth league defeat of the season.
Hammers boss Slaven Bilic said: "Andy gives you options - not just through a long ball. He's a great player and we just want him fit.
"If he stays fit, then West Ham and England will benefit."
Billic added: "I'm very proud of my team. It's a brilliant win against the champions in front of our crowd.
And it's a win we deserved."

West Ham 2 Chelsea 1: Carroll downs 10-man Blues as Mourinho is sent to stands
JOSE MOURINHO must be wondering just what else can go wrong this season.

By Paul Hetherington

Gary Cahill lashed home what looked like being a late equaliser to earn a point for the battling, ten-man Blues.
But 11 minutes from time, fit-again Andy Carroll won it for West Ham with a towering header from Aaron Cresswell’s fine cross for his first goal of the season.
Earlier, Mourinho had seen Mauro Zarate give West Ham the lead and Kurt Zouma and Cesc Fabregas denied goals by goal-line technology and an offside decision.

The striker said: “We’ve had some great wins but that’s got to be one of the best.

“We went for the win and kept on pushing and got it.”
His boss Slaven Bilic says Carroll still has a future on the international scene.
He said: “Andy gives you options – not just through a long ball.
“He’s a great player and we just want him fit. If he stays fit then West Ham and England will benefit.”
Mourinho snubbed the media after the game but a dejected Cahill stood in front of the cameras.
He said: “You’re left scratching your head sometimes.
“In the first half the Cesc Fabregas goal could have been given and we had the goal that was nearly over the line.
“It’s a summary of our season at the minute.”
