Mauricio Pochettino admits it is 'difficult to explain' Chelsea's defeat against 10-man West Ham... but urges his players to 'believe in the process'

Mauricio Pochettino has told his Chelsea players that they 'need to believe in the process' after the Blues suffered a shock 3-1 defeat against West Ham on Sunday.

The Blues fell behind early on through Nayef Aguerd's header before goals from Michail Antonio and a late Lucas Paqueta penalty cancelled out Carney Chukwuemeka's equaliser.

A miserable afternoon for the London Stadium visitors was made even worse when new £115m summer signing Moises Caicedo gave away a penalty on his debut.

However, Pochettino isn't getting weighed down by the result despite the Blues now without a win from either of their two opening Premier League fixtures.
