West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui branded his team as ‘soft’ while Jarrod Bowen admitted they made it easy for Chelsea after succumbing to a third straight home defeat.
Two goals from Nicolas Jackson and a Cole Palmer strike secured a comfortable victory for the Blues, but Lopetegui lamented his side’s defending for all three.
The Hammers’ boss was also subjected to loud boos from the home fans following his decision to substitute Crysenio Summerville early in the second half.
‘Of course today is a bad day for all of us and we have to look forward and work hard and think about the future,’ Lopetegui said.
