Much more to come from Chelsea, says coach Conte

The Spain worldwide scored a late victor as Chelsea beat West Ham United 2-1 on Monday night.

The Spain worldwide was lucky to remain on the pitch after catching the keeper with his studs showing, and went on to score the winning goal one minute from time.

James Collins blasted a second-half equaliser for West Ham only for Costa to net the victor a minute from time – when he arguably should not have been on the pitch.

N’Golo Kante, a £32m summer arrival from Premier League champions Leicester, made his Chelsea debut in the win over West Ham and the midfielder has expressed his delight at working under Conte. I don’t think it was reckless, definitely not.

“We have put goal-line technology in, we’ve done that and does anyone argue over whether the ball was over any more? No”.

“It’s not enjoyable when you’re doing it but you reap the rewards and I felt really strong in the game”. After a bad season, 10th place was no good for the players, confidence was low and the fans weren’t happy with this situation.

Chelsea’s Oscar saw his claim for a penalty kick turned away by referee Anthony Taylor when he appeared to tumble after colliding with defender Winston Reid.

“I think the team played a good game with a great intensity and spirit”, Conte told Sky Sports.

The Croatian was magnanimous enough to concede that Chelsea’s victory was “deserved”.

New Chelsea gaffer Antonio Conte refused to reveal the reason why he omitted Cesc Fabregas from his side that defeated West Ham 2-1 on Monday night.

Branislav Ivanovic drew a save from Adrian at his near post, Hazard curled a shot a foot wide following a probing run and Willian obliged Adrian to palm a dipping free-kick over the bar.

“The atmosphere was fantastic and I want to say thank you to the fans because they followed the players at the end”.

“And to see the Italian flag in the stand, I had a bit of emotion”.

It was a physical and testy affair between two clubs on somewhat surprisingly equal footing as the resurgent Hammers are looking to upset traditional Premier League beliefs on who should finish in the top four.

West Ham were not finished.

“It’s a thigh injury”, Bilic said.
