Comments:

This was new manager Antonio Conte's first Premier League game in charge. Chelsea were now unbeaten in all of their last 14 season opening games played at Stamford Bridge (won 11). Eden Hazard's penalty was the Blues' 5,000th goal in the top division. They became the tenth club to reach the landmark.

Comments:

West Ham United had now scored in each their last 14 Premier League games. James Collins' goal was his eighth in the Premier League. He had scored four of them against Chelsea. Following on from the 2015-16 campaign, the Hammers had now lost three of their last four Premier League games.
