Watch: Jorginho and Mendy mistakes lead to West Ham penalty

Via Planet Football:

Mistakes from Chelsea’s Jorginho and Edouard Mendy led to West Ham winning a first-half penalty and scoring their opening goal as they beat their London rivals 3-2 in the Premier League.

Chelsea had opened the scoring through a Thiago Silva header from a corner, but a lazy backpass from Jorginho endangered his goalkeeper when Jarrod Bowen closed in on the loose ball.

While Mendy got their first, Bowen’s tenaciousness meant he managed to all-but-gain possession before a clumsy challenge from the goalkeeper brought the West Ham attacker down, giving away a penalty.

Manuel Lanzini promptly stepped up and fire home to equalise for the Hammers before Bowen and Arthur Masuaka also for on the scoresheet.
