Christian Pulisic's late winner earns Chelsea vital victory against West Ham

Christian Pulisic scored a dramatic late winner to give Chelsea a much-needed 1-0 win against 10-man West Ham United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Chelsea had been in poor form at home, losing 4-0 to Brentford and 4-2 to Arsenal in their previous two home outings in the Premier League, and that looked set to continue as they laboured, unable to break down a well-organised and determined West Ham defence.

Craig Dawson in particular had stood out for the visitors but his 86th-minute sending off changed the game.
