How the fans reacted to Chelsea’s last minute 2-1 win over West Ham

Antonio Conte’s Premier League career began with a 2-1 win over West Ham early this morning that was not without the typical touch of Chelsea controversy.

The opening round fixture brought all the regular fire of a London derby, with the home side’s N’Golo Kante and Diego Costa early seeing yellow cards, while Hammers fans would be forced to watch new arrival Andre Ayew forced off the pitch with just 20 minutes gone through a thigh injury.

The Blues appeared to have been re-ignited under their new manager though and after controlling much of the momentum, took the lead moments into the second-half from Eden Hazard’s converted penalty. Slaven Bilic would be forced to introduce Dimitri Payet into the contest, and while the Frenchman’s impact led to a stunning equaliser from James Collins, the visiting attack was largely isolated for the entire game.

Star striker Costa found the net late on with a low drive to seal the result, but was lucky to still be on the pitch having slide-tackled opposition goalkeeper Adrian while on a booking.

Here are some of the best reactions to come from Twitter after the game:
