Jamie Carragher was left fuming after Chelsea's 3-1 loss to West Ham on Sunday. The Blues had taken the lead after just seven minutes but were soon pegged back by Nayef Aguerd. Carney Chukwuemeka then levelled it up for the west Londoners, but their hopes of a victory were dashed when Michail Antonio scored out of nowhere.
Carragher was quick to point out the sloppy defending that had led to the goal. On commentary duty for Sky Sports, he said: "Malo Gusto is definitely playing him on. Michail Antonio is just slightly in behind the two centre-backs. It's not great there from Axel Disasi - the ball goes in behind him, he makes a mistake. Antonio has the power and strength to leave Levi Colwill for dead - he's like a child!"
Despite being a man up after Aguerd was sent off in the 67th minute, Chelsea couldn't find a winner and left east London empty-handed. The result means Mauricio Pochettino is still searching for his first win in his new role, after his team drew 1-1 with Liverpool last week.
The Blues will now have the chance to redeem themselves when they host Luton Town on Friday. But with mounting pressure from fans, Pochettino will have to work hard to ensure the team is prepared for their next challenge.
