West Ham Fans Exit London Stadium in Disappointment After Chelsea Rout
West Ham United supporters were seen leaving the London Stadium in large numbers shortly after the second half began, following a disheartening four-goal deficit against Chelsea. The match took a turn for the worse when a defensive mishap from a corner kick allowed Moises Caicedo to tap the ball into an unguarded net, capitalizing on a weak effort from goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.
Sky Sports captured the moment as despondent fans made their way to the exits, many visibly frustrated. The situation deteriorated further for West Ham when another corner led to Joao Pedro heading the ball down to Trevoh Chalobah, who easily slotted in the Blues’ fifth goal.
Commentator Alan Smith described the scene as "humiliating," and it was hard to argue against his assessment. As the home crowd dwindled, the away section erupted in song, while the remaining West Ham supporters displayed increasing signs of anger and disappointment.
The match had started positively for West Ham, with Lucas Paqueta scoring a stunning goal that ignited hope among the fans. The atmosphere was electric as chants filled the stadium, but the mood quickly shifted when Chelsea equalized shortly after through a corner kick—one of three goals conceded from set-pieces that night.
Marc Cucurella, standing at 5’9", flicked the ball to Pedro, who nodded it in with ease. Shortly after, Caicedo extended Chelsea’s lead to 4-1, followed by Chalobah’s fifth goal, sealing a dismal fate for the Hammers.
Adding to the chaos, Caicedo turned playmaker, setting up Pedro Neto with a delicate pass while Aaron Wan-Bissaka struggled defensively. The first half ended with West Ham’s woes compounded by the explosive 18-year-old Estevao Willian, who navigated past defenders to assist Enzo Fernandez.
As the match unfolded, the frustration of West Ham fans was palpable, leaving many to wonder how the team could turn things around in future fixtures.
