Estevao magic, Pedro Neto beauty, Joao Pedro masterclass - Chelsea player ratings vs West Ham

Chelsea are top of the Premier League - for now, at least - after they came from behind to beat West Ham United 5-1 at the London Stadium.

There was a late change to the Blues' team as Cole Palmer "felt something" during the warm-up, according to Enzo Maresca, and was replaced by Estevao Willian. And Chelsea went behind early on with Lucas Paqueta's long-range strike beating Robert Sanchez.

However, the visitors weren't behind for long. Joao Pedro scored his first league goal for the Blues after Marc Cucurella's flick on. Not long after, Joao Pedro turned provider with Pedro Neto half volleying his cross beyond Mads Hermansen.

The visitors went two ahead when Enzo Fernandez tapped home Estevao's cross on 34 minutes. Chelsea were then in full control of the match, with the away supporters poking fun at the hosts and former head coach Graham Potter.

In the second-half, the Blues showed no mercy. Moises Caicedo made it four after Hermansen flapped at a corner delivery and then, moments later, Trevoh Chalobah scored the visitors' fifth goal with West Ham's goalkeeper unable to deal with the cross.

That is the way it stayed, with the west Londoners climbing to the top of the Premier League table. Below, Bobby Vincent rates the Chelsea players out of 10 based on their performance in east London this evening.

Robert Sanchez - 5

He went with the wrong hand for the opening goal of the game. It was a good strike but you can't help feeling that if he went with the correct hand, he might have saved it.

Malo Gusto - 6

Gusto often gets a lot of criticism from the Chelsea fan base and whether that is fair or not, he did well in east London. Subbed in the second-half.

Trevoh Chalobah - 7

Perhaps could have been tighter to Paqueta for his goal. Scored in the second-half. What a moment for the defender.

Tosin Adarabioyo - 6

Solid back there. A few of the famous line-breaking passes Maresca referenced last week.

Marc Cucurella - 8

A clever flick for Joao Pedro's goal. Solid as always and good to see his attacking influence back this evening.

Moises Caicedo - 8

It is ridiculous how many times he wins the ball and the referee gives a free-kick. Anyway, he scored in the second-half, so who cares about that?

Enzo Fernandez - 8

Classic Fernandez - running into the six-yard box for a tap-in. We saw him do it numerous times last season and after a forgettable performance against Crystal Palace five days ago, he made up for it at the London Stadium. Should have scored early on in the second-half but blazed over.

Estevao Willian - 8

In as a late change following Palmer's injury, he gave the ball away in silly fashion and that led to Paqueta's opener. He redeemed himself around 30 minutes later, where he did really well to set up Fernandez for the visitors' third goal of the match.

Joao Pedro - 9

A brilliant header to level the game and an equally impressive assist for Neto. He then got another assist for Chalobah. A fantastic game from a fantastic player.

Pedro Neto - 8

A great finish. Properly instinctive. Was a threat all evening-long. Left or right wing, Neto is going to cause defences problems.

Liam Delap - 7

Delap did brilliantly for Fernandez's goal, holding it up before flicking to Estevao, who got his first Premier League assist for the Blues. Subbed in the second-half.

Substitutes

Andrey Santos (on for Delap 61') - 6

Nice to see him get more minutes. Was always in the box whenever Chelsea were attacking.

Reece James (on for Gusto 69') - 7

James, moments after coming on, played an unbelievable pass to Estevao, whose shot was blocked.

Wesley Fofana (on for Chalobah 69') - 6

Nice to see him return. Comfortable on the ball.

Jorrel Hato (on for Cucurella 69') - 6

Chelsea debut. See above, really. Didn't have to do any defending of note.

Jamie Gittens (on for Estevao 77') - N/A

Came on for the final 15 minutes (including added time) or so.
