Chelsea ratings: South American trident with 8/10 in rout at West Ham

The visitors garnered full control of the game from that point as they regularly dominated duels, and after getting in front through Pedro Neto, they scored their third goal when Estêvão made amends for his earlier error by skipping past the defense and finding Enzo Fernández for a simple finish.

Fernández was one of Chelsea's brightest performers, dictating the game from midfield alongside Moisés Caicedo, who scored their fourth goal after goalkeeper Mads Hermansen made a mess of a corner.

Enzo Maresca's side increased its lead to 5-1 when defender Trevoh Chalobah scored in the 58th minute to put the game out of reach.

Positives

Chelsea had several promising moments when they overwhelmed their opponents. They controlled the game against West Ham and created a plethora of chances. Set pieces were a particular highlight, with Maresca's side scoring three times from corners.

Manager rating out of 10

Enzo Maresca, 8 -- The Italian's side looked much more prepared than their opponents, with Chelsea establishing control of the game when they scored their second goal. He also ensured his team didn't slow down after the break, as Chelsea came out with similar intent, scoring their fourth and fifth goals before the hour mark.

Player ratings (1-10; 10 = best, players introduced after 70 minutes get no rating)

GK Robert Sánchez, 5 -- The goalkeeper lost the line of the ball as it swerved past him for Paqueta's opener, but he could have used his opposite hand.

DF Marc Cucurella, 7 -- The Spain international rose above everyone at the near post in the 15th minute to assist João Pedro's equalizer. It was a comfortable game for Cucurella overall, with some positive passes with Fernández before Cucurella was replaced by Jorrel Hato in the 69th minute.

DF Trevoh Chalobah, 7 -- The 26-year-old was always in the right position to narrow the angles, and he also delayed the opposition enough to let his teammates get back to help defend. Chalobah then scored Chelsea's fifth goal to seal the win when found by João Pedro after a corner.

DF Tosin Adarabioyo, 7 -- Adarabioyo was aggressive when challenging in duels, getting tight to West Ham's forwards to clear direct balls the other way. He also controlled the ball a lot in the second half, with Chelsea keeping possession to play the game out.

DF Malo Gusto, 6 -- West Ham found it difficult to pick up Malo Gusto, who made multiple intelligent runs to stretch the back three. He also fared well defensively, though Hammers wing back El Hadji Malick Diouf looked isolated at times.

MF Moisés Caicedo, 8 -- The Ecuador international took care of possession and rarely made a bad pass, while also choosing the right moments to progress the ball forward. He capped his performance with a goal after an error from Hermansen, who deflected a corner to the Chelsea midfielder.

MF Enzo Fernández, 8 -- The Argentina international had a good time at the London Stadium on Friday night, at one point exchanging several close passes with Caicedo to the delight of the traveling fans. He then scored after getting ahead of his defender inside the box to finish Estêvão's cross, but he should have done better in the second half, when he fired one over the bar.
