Before I knew it, more than ten minutes had passed.

Judging from the field, West Ham United are not lagging behind at all.

The ball went straight to Chelsea's ribs.

Paye forehead a little, sprinting towards the arc island with the ball.

Mikel flew to the tackle and shoveled the ball away from Payet's feet.

However, the tackle ball fell to the unmarked Lanzini on the left.

Lanzini cuts inside with the ball.

A bad premonition welled up in José's mind.

Ahead of the left side of the Blues penalty area, Lanzini shook off Ivan before firing into the far corner.

The ball flew in a large arc, which was enough to get around Jose's block.

If nothing happens, it's a world wave.

Jose knew that with his own ability, no one in the world could stop Lanzini's long-range shot.

"Time and space pause."

José didn't hesitate to use the plug-in.

When the world came to a standstill, José sprang out at a brisk pace and pounced on the ball that was spinning rapidly in the air.

Time and space resumed, and one only saw José suddenly burst out with incredible speed, and then single-handedly blocked out Lanzini's world wave.

Outside the box, it was still West Ham who had possession.

At this point, Chelsea's defence was in disarray.

Outside the box, Sako has a second follow-up shot.

However, Sako's shot was far from Lanzini's world wave.

Jose rolled over with a salted fish, bounced on the spot, and took Sako's follow-up shot with both hands.

Jose made a double save.

Chelsea relied on Jose's play to keep a clean sheet for the time being.

Outside the box, it was still West Ham who had possession.

Facing a dense Chelsea defence, West Ham played the ball back to goalkeeper Adrian.

Playing at home and being kicked by the opponent, Mourinho frowned on the sidelines.

The situation on the field also confirms that West Ham United can beat Manchester United and Liverpool to finish sixth, and it is definitely not as simple as luck.

Adrian kicks in the goal.

There was a scuffle in midfield and the ball ended up at the feet of Cesar Azpilicueta.

Cesar Azpilicueta's diagonal pass found Kenedy on the wing.

On the left side of the opposition penalty area, Kenedy crosses with his left foot.

However, the referee ignored it.

The game continues.

In the 29th minute, Xiaofa sent a cross in front of the penalty area.

From 10 yards out, Remy headed home with his back.

The intensity was too small, and the result was in Adrian's arms.

This position, for Jose, is an absolute scoring opportunity.

But Mourinho didn't signal Jose to step forward.

In the end, it was Willian who took the free-kick opportunity.

Hit the door directly.

It's a pity that the left column is out of the way.

Chelsea missed a chance to score.

The game continues.

Shots on goal are decreasing.

Before you know it, the game entered first-half stoppage time.

There were three minutes of stoppage time in the first half.

In the 47th minute and 30 seconds, Oscar won a free kick in front of the penalty area.

Oscar broke through with the ball, and Ogbonna directly brought down Oscar with his hand.

Ogbonna was also booked.

Chelsea were awarded a free-kick from around 25 yards from goal.

This time, Cesc Fabregas and Oscar stood in front of the penalty spot at the same time, while Willian walked straight away.

Jose certainly didn't have the idea of taking a free-kick, he just watched everything on the pitch silently from the back.

In the end, the ball hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced off the right side of the box.

Chelsea fans were shocked into a cold sweat.

At the same time, José secretly rejoiced in his heart.

The next time, when you encounter this situation, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, just use the plug-in to talk about it.

Four minutes later, Oscar's dribble was cut off in front of the ball and West Ham had another chance to counter-attack.

Payet counter-attacks with a diagonal cross to the left of the box.

Carroll, who had just come off the bench for just one minute, won the ball and slotted into the left side of the box.

Facing Carol, who was single-handedly killed, Jose made a decisive attack to meet him.

From 12 yards on the left flank, Carroll prepares to shoot.

With no interference, Carroll is likely to score a goal.

However, Jose didn't wait for the opponent to shoot the ball, and directly used the "time and space pause".

If you don't want money plug-ins, how can you give up and not use them?

With that pause, Jose could just shovel the ball away from Carroll's feet.

Jose once again blocked the opposition's must-score chance.

It's not a good thing to be found to have a shot on goal all the time.

It was still early to end the game and Chelsea were starting to step up their attack.

In the 67th minute, Pedro broke through on the left and was tripped by an opposing player.

West Ham take a corner.

There was chaos in the Chelsea box.

Carroll pressed Mikel to the ball.

Carroll headed the ball straight underneath the goal.

This angle of shooting does not threaten Jose at all.

I saw Jose's figure move slightly, and easily confiscated the opponent's header.

In the 80th minute, Mourinho used up his last substitution.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek replaces Oscar.

It also meant that Pato lost his chance to play again.

Before you know it, there is not much time left in the game, and the score on the field is still 1-0.

If it was the first phase of Mourinho, after 1-0, Mourinho would definitely let the players return to defense, but today, Mourinho still let the players try to attack.

He's really changed.

In the 87th minute, West Ham won another corner on the left side.

The corner kick was taken directly to the right side of the penalty area.

Carroll heads in and the ball goes straight to the bottom left of the goal.

At this time, Jose has come to the right side of the goal in order to block the right side.

Under normal circumstances, Jose would not have been able to make a save on the left side of the goal.

There was no way, so Jose had to use the plug-in again.

Jose arrived in time to block Carroll's shot.

Chelsea counter-attacked quickly.

As the saying goes, if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future.

Xiaofa sent a through pass in the counterattack.

The ball was at the feet of William.

Willian ran wildly with the ball in the middle, and in the blink of an eye, he was already outside the arc island.

Willian crossed diagonally to the left side of the box and the ball found at the feet of Zike.

Zike burst into the left side of the box with the ball and Antonio intercepted him, only to run into Zike.

"Beep, beep~" The referee blew the whistle for a foul.

Yellow Dot Package!

Antonio was booked.

Chelsea were awarded penalties.

Cesc Fabregas was in the penalty area.

Originally, Jose's penalty was the most stable in the team, but considering that time was running out and the score was ahead, Jose did not need to risk going up to take the penalty.

Xiaofa first ran a few steps, then paused abruptly, waiting for the opposing goalkeeper to react before hitting the bottom right corner.

The ball went in.

Chelsea are 2-0 up.

Chelsea fans finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thanks to Jose's brilliant save and Cesc Fabregas's brace, Chelsea won 2-0 at home.

After this campaign, Chelsea continue to lead the table with 70 points, behind Leicester City with 66 points.

Post-match wrap-up.

In terms of possession, Chelsea had 57 per cent possession throughout the game, which was not much of an advantage.

As for shots on target, Chelsea had five shots on target. Although two goals were scored, neither of them came from athletic battles, which shows how poor Chelsea's attacking form is.

West Ham, on the other hand, have had six shots on target, including no less than three absolute scoring chances, despite playing away from home.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for Jose's courageous performance, Chelsea should have lost half of the game at home.

The international break will be followed by the match against West Ham United.

According to the arrangement, England will play friendly matches against Germany and the Netherlands on the 27th and 30th respectively.
