The match between West Ham United and Chelsea in the Premier League being held at Stamford Bridge provided as much drama as it did controversy as both matches concluded with a high adrenaline comeback by Chelsea with 3-2 and the ensuing ugly after match confrontation that dominated the headlines. The Blues however made an incredible comeback in the second half as a replacement Joao Pedro reduced the gap and an equaliser by Marc Cucurella put the sides on par, and a final replacement, Enzo Fernandez, scored an incredible stoppage-time goal to cap an incredible turnaround.
Despite the fact that the outcome was an enormous lift to the Chelsea Premier League season, the headlines were composed of the disorganized events during the stoppage time. Following the late goal, emotions ran very high after the West Ham winger Adama Traore confronted Cucurella resulting in a heated exchange. This soon turned into a mass brawl in which players of both teams were seen, leading to a straight red card to West Ham defender Jean Clair Todibo who was seen grabbing Joao Pedro by the neck, which is generally viewed as violent behavior. Referee Anthony Taylor referred to VAR before dispatching Todibo and several of the other players were caught up in the melee but got away without disciplinary measures.
The event has caught the interest of a large number of people and is projected to lead to more penalties on the part of the Football Association and pundits and old officials have commented that such incidents damage the league image. Although the game was chaotic on the field, the win took Chelsea to the fourth place of the Premier League, whereas the loss and the disciplinary cloud over the future of Todibo left West Ham in the relegation battle.
