Chelsea have won four Premier League games in a row for the first time since November 2019 (a run of six under Frank Lampard).
Thomas Tuchel has picked up 13 points from his first five Premier League games in charge of Chelsea (W4 D1), level with José Mourinho’s first five with the club and bettered only by Carlo Ancelotti and Maurizio Sarri (15 pts each).
Thomas Tuchel is just the third manager to see his team concede just one goal in his first five games as a boss in the Premier League, after José Mourinho with Chelsea and Peter Taylor with Leicester (no manager has shipped no goals in their first five games in charge in the competition).
Chelsea ‘keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga kept his first Premier League clean sheet in five appearances (11 goals conceded in the previous four), since a shut-out against Norwich in July 2020.
West Ham 3-0 Sheff Utd: Declan Rice, Issa Diop, and Ryan Fredericks score against bottom side Sheffield
West Ham continued their European charge as they moved up to fifth in the Premier League after a 3-0 win over rock bottom Sheffield United at the London Stadium.
Declan Rice, Issa Diop, and Ryan Fredericks were all on target in the win.
West Ham, who had an early penalty ruled out by VAR, got another opportunity from the spot five minutes before half-time as Jesse Lingard was brought down by Chris Basham.
Declan Rice stood up to the challenge and converted the resulting penalty.
The Hammers doubled their lead in the 58th minute through Issa Diop who headed in a cross from the corner by Aaron Cresswell as the hosts got their sixth win in eight league games. Substitute Ryan Fredericks wrapped up a 3-0 win for the Hammers in stoppage time (90+6).
