Chelsea 2, West Ham United 1

Chelsea left it late, but it was a great start for Antonio Conte as boss Monday as Diego Costa's late winner saw them take a 2-1 victory over West Ham United at Stamford Bridge.

The scoring opened early in the second half as Chelsea's Eden Hazard converted a penalty with blistering power. West Ham cancelled out the lead with little over 10 minutes remaining thanks to James Collins' equaliser in his 100th league appearance for the Hammers.

Chelsea dominated for large parts of the game and the scoreline was flattering for the Hammers in the end. Both sides had new signings in the side with N'Golo Kante starting for Chelsea while West Ham's Andre Ayew made his bow on the right wing.

Hazard was the undoubted star of the show and ran it from the word go; his trickery, flair and unpredictable nature caused nightmares for West Ham's makeshift right back Michail Antonio. And it was Antonio who was at fault for the first goal, clumsily tripping Cesar Azpilicueta in the box.

Chances went begging for Chelsea and it looked as if they were going to be made to pay when a corner wasn't cleared and Collins profited to level the score.

Chelsea pushed and pushed for the winner and it came with seconds to go. Substitute Michy Batshuayi flicked a header on and Costa scuffed the ball into the corner from 25 yards away to send Chelsea third after the opening weekend.
