Axel Disasi of Chelsea in action during the Premier League 2 match between Chelsea U21 and Reading U21 at Kingsmeadow on November 08, 2025 in Kingston upon Thames, England. Chelsea return to Champions League action on Tuesday evening when they face Italian side Atalanta.

Domestically, however, Enzo Maresca’s side have endured a bad week having followed up a 3-1 defeat against Leeds United with a goalless draw against struggling Bournemouth on Saturday. Those two results leave Chelsea fifth in the Premier League table, despite being talked about as potential title challengers...

football live scores: Sunderland stun Chelsea

Sunderland moved into second place in the Premier League as winger Chemsdine Talbi scored a 94th-minute winner to stun Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Regis le Bris' side were on the brink of earning a valuable point in west London, but snatched all three when Talbi converted from the edge of the box after a quick counter-attack. The victory - Sunderland's first on the road this season - was all the more remarkable given Chelsea had taken an early lead when Alejandro Garnacho scored his first goal for the club with a fine solo effort. Sunderland levelled through Wilson Isidor, who netted from close range for his fourth goal of the season following Chelsea's failure to clear their lines from a long throw. The Black Cats were less adventurous in the second half, seemingly content to ...

latest scores:Chelsea 5-1 West Ham

Joao Pedro Chelsea came from behind to thrash West Ham 5-1 and leave former Blues boss Graham Potter under pressure just two games into the Premier League season. Potter has won just five of 21 games since taking charge in January and has endured a miserable start to the new campaign after a 3-0 defeat to newly-promoted Sunderland last weekend. Lucas Paqueta's brilliant strike gave the home side early hope on Friday, blasting into the top corner from long range, but they quickly capitulated. Joao Pedro scored the first of Chelsea's three goals from corners before Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez added to the world champions' lead. Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah then took advantage of a nightmare night for new West Ham goalkeeper Mads Hermansen. Victory took Chelsea, who drew their openi...
