Part 4/8:
Cole Palmer emerged as a pivotal player during this match, playing a crucial role in creating opportunities that led to goals, even if one resulted from a deflection off a West Ham player.

The decision to rotate goalkeepers highlights the manager's willingness to make bold moves to address underperformance, particularly in light of Robert Sanchez's recent errors that have directly impacted the team's league standing. The introduction of young goalkeeper Philip Jorgenson, who had a commendable outing despite being under pressure from a potent West Ham attack, suggests that Chelsea might indeed be moving towards a more reliable foundation.
