Antonio Conte focusing on top-four finish with Chelsea
Arnautovic has received criticism for his displays since a big-money move from Stoke, but was delighted to get his first goal for the club.
Chelsea’s central defender Gary Cahill has conceded that the Blues are way out of form, after their 1-0 defeat to West Ham United.
The win lifts the Irons onto 13 points, however they remain third bottom of the Premier League.
“What a great result it is for us”, said Moyes.
However, Moyes hinted Hart could find himself back into the starting XI, given West Ham are still competing on three fronts.
Jose Fonte, Sam Byram and Cheikhou Kouyate won’t feature for the home side, who haven’t won back-t0-back home games this season. The Hammers though held on, with Hazard and Alvaro Morata missing good chances for the visitors.
AN ACTION-PACKED derby game at the London Stadium on Saturday ended with new West Ham boss David Moyes securing his first victory, while Chelsea manager Antonio Conte conceded the Premier League after their fourth defeat in 16 games. “When you have this start, it is impossible to think you are in the title race”.
Even if the title is gone, Conte will not want his side to end the season empty handed.
“It was very hard, our start was bad and it was hard to come back”.
‘In the game against Atletico Madrid, the same thing happened because we created many chances.
“Many of the players were exhausted. There are a lot of targets this season”. “If we played to our levels, we would have got something out of the game”.
A prolonged spell on the bench could jeopardise Hart’s chances of being England’s first choice goalkeeper in Russian Federation in the summer, even though earlier this month Gareth Southgate said he remained England’s starting goalkeeper. Adrian stood up well to everything the away side threw at him, getting down well to prevent N’Golo Kante just before the 30 minute mark. This target is very important for me, for the players and for all. “Joe took the decision really well and gave Adrian plenty of encouragement so I have to praise Joe”. “That’s the way it is”, he added.
“I’m always happy when I win”.
On BBC’s Match of the Day on Saturday night, the pundits laid into Antonio Conte. We came close against Manchester City and for long periods, we thought we were going to get it.
