Diego Costa, who should have been sent off earlier, scores the winner for Chelsea. The ball’s pumped long and headed down by Batshuayi to Costa. He shakes off Collin and drills it through the centre-back’s legs from 25 yards. It’s accurate enough to beat Adrian low to the goalkeeper’s right. Conte goes mad on the touchline.
90 min+3: Pedro’s booked for a late challenge on Reid. “Seriously, how is Costa still on the pitch to score that?” asks Niall Mullen. Your guess is as good as mine.
90 min+4: West Ham almost equalise! Carroll wreaks havoc in the Chelsea area but he can’t get his shot away as Courtois closes down the angle. Eventually the ball’s smuggled away thanks to determined last-ditch defending from the hosts. That should be that.
Full time: Diego Costa’s winner gives Antonio Conte the perfect start to life at Chelsea but West Ham will be furious about a highly questionable refereeing performance from the circus’s Anthony Taylor.
