Chelsea manager Liam Rosenoir has admitted he would have booed the clubs players after the Blues crowd voiced their frustration at the players when they went 2-0 down at half-time against West Ham.
The Blues fell behind to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side after just seven minutes when Jarod Bowen’s deep cross evaded all in the Blues penalty area and crept in at the back post.
It looked like West Ham will win all three points when Crysencio Summerville curled a wicked effort from the top of the box into the back of the net from an Aaron Wan-Bissaka cut-back.
However, Chelsea came back stronger in the second half and were back on level terms after Joao Pedro’s close-range header and Marc Cucurella bundled home from inside the six-yard box.
Enzo Fernandez then completed the comeback when he wrongfooted Alphonse Areola in the Hammers goal.

Speaking after the game, Rosenior praised the fans and was understanding in their half-time frustration. He told reporters: “I have to say, the fans were magnificent in the second-half. I would have booed us in the first-half. Our performance was nowhere near the level it needed to be.
Currently under pressure to prove he has what it takes to manage the club, Rosenior admitted that only he can convince the Blues faithful that he is the right man for the job.
He explained: “It’s on me. I hope in time, they will say it’s the best decision the club have ever made. I can’t focus on that. They want to win trophies. I want that too. To have six wins from seven games, it’s not a bad start.”
Rosenior will be eager to continue his impressive form as the Blues manager when they travel to Arsenal on Tuesday needing to overturn a 3-2 Carabao Cup defeat at home against Mikel Arteta’s side.
