Despite hogging the ball like it was the last pint at the pub (67% possession!), they went behind to a cheeky Bowen goal (42').  But fear not, Neto levelled it (64') and then Wan-Bissaka, bless him, decided to help out with an own goal (74').  More shots than a dodgy kebab shop at 2 AM (21!), but still a bit of a nervy affair, wasn't it?<\/figcaption>\n            <\/figure>\n -->\n            <section>\n                <h2>Chelsea Edge Past West Ham: Tactical Masterclass or Just Plain Lucky, Mate?<\/h2>\n<p>Blimey, Chelsea, with a frankly ludicrous 67% possession, almost bottled it against West Ham!  A squeaky 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge \u2013 was it tactical genius or just a bit of jammy good fortune?  Are the Blues genuine contenders, or are we just seeing Harry Kane&#8217;s trophy cabinet vibes all over again?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The 3 Keys to the Match<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law\u2026 Except When It Isn&#8217;t:<\/strong> Chelsea hogged the ball like they were auditioning for a Pep Guardiola tribute act, but struggled to break down a stubborn West Ham defence.  All that possession, and for what?  More cutting edge needed, pronto.<\/li>\n<li><strong>West Ham &#8216;Parking the Bus&#8217; and Almost Getting Away With It:<\/strong>  With a measly 33% possession, West Ham played on the counter like their lives depended on it.  Their goal, a textbook smash and grab, nearly silenced Stamford Bridge.  Almost pulled off the heist of the century!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chelsea&#8217;s Late Show \u2013 Just About Good Enough:<\/strong>  Going behind seemed to finally wake Chelsea up in the second half.  The goals eventually came, but it was hardly a walk in the park.  You&#8217;d expect a bit more swagger from a team chasing Champions League spots.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>The Bonkers Stat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zero offsides for Chelsea!  For a team with that much of the ball, it&#8217;s frankly baffling.  Perfect positional play, or just a lack of risk-taking and runs in behind?  You decide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tags :<\/strong> Chelsea, West Ham, Premier League, Football, Analysis, Tactics, Possession, Goals, Stamford Bridge<\/p>\n            <\/section>\n\n            <section aria-label=\"Detailed Match\">\n                <h2>Detailed Match<\/h2>\n                <table>\n                    <tr>\n                        <th scope=\"col\">Stadium<\/th>\n                        <th scope=\"col\">Type<\/th>\n                    <\/tr>\n                    <tr>\n                        <td itemprop=\"location\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/StadiumOrArena\">\n                            <span itemprop=\"name\">Stamford Bridge<\/span>\n                        <\/td>\n                        <td>Premier League<\/td>\n                    <\/tr>\n                <\/table>\n            <\/section>\n\n\n        <div style=\"width: 40%; margin: 0 auto;\">\n        \n        <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n            <div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n            <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#CHEWHU Chelsea vs West Ham:  Squeaky 2-1 Win! \ud83d\udd25 - 67% Possession, More Shots Than Sense\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BxKBVNsZaB4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n        <\/div>\n\n\n            <section aria-label=\"Team Statistics\">\n                <h2>Team Statistics<\/h2>\n                <table>\n                    <thead>\n                        <tr>\n                            <th scope=\"col\">Team<\/th>\n                            <th scope=\"col\">Score<\/th>\n                            <th scope=\"col\">Possession (%)<\/th>\n                            <th scope=\"col\">Total Shots<\/th>\n                            <th scope=\"col\">Corners<\/th>\n                            <th scope=\"col\">Offside<\/th>\n                            <th scope=\"col\">Who put the ball in the net?<\/th>\n                            <th scope=\"col\">Goals<\/th>\n                        <\/tr>\n                    <\/thead>\n                    <tbody>\n                        <tr>\n                            <td itemprop=\"homeTeam\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/SportsTeam\">\n                                <span itemprop=\"name\">CHELSEA<\/span>\n                            <\/td>\n                            <td class=\"green\">2<\/td>\n                            <td class=\"green\">67%<\/td>\n                            <td class=\"green\">21<\/td>\n                            <td class=\"green\">4<\/td>\n                            <td class=\"green\">0<\/td>\n                            <td>P.
