Chelsea managed to secure all three points against West Ham United, but it wasn\u2019t without its controversy. <\/p>\n

It was a first half filled with plenty of anamosity, but not on the field. Chelsea fans grew frustrated at Alejandro Garnacho<\/a> and his teammates after conceding two goals inside 36 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Chelsea<\/a> supporters had every right to be frustrated after that first-half display. It was poor defensive work and a lack of focus that kept gifting West Ham chance after chance. <\/p>\n

Liam Rosenior got the lads in at half-time<\/a> and told them to go and press together, as well as bringing up the mentality. And the rest is history. <\/p>\n

Literally history. This is the first time Chelsea have come from two goals down at half-time in a Premier League game to go on and win. <\/p>\n

But the focus soon turn to the red card incident in the dying embers. <\/p>\n

Why so negative?<\/p>\n

West Ham defender Jean-Clair Todibo apologises for his red card <\/p>\n

Jean-Clair Todibo started at the heart of the defence and was relatively quiet, until a fight broke out in the final moments of the game. <\/p>\n

It all started with Joao Pedro<\/a> and Adama Traore getting into a bit of a scuffle. Todibo then took it upon himself to run over and defend his teammate, but in doing so, he grabbed the Chelsea man by the neck. <\/p>\n

He was then given his marching orders after a VAR review. <\/p>\n

After the game, the West Ham man took to Instagram<\/a> to share his apology. <\/p>\n

Jean-Clair Todibo apologises for his actions, but there\u2019s no direct apology to Joao Pedro \ud83e\udd14 <\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s discipline issues not an issue for once<\/p>\n

It is usually Chelsea that find themselves on the receiving end of a red card or talking to, but that wasn\u2019t the case against West Ham. <\/p>\n

The Blues have suffered five red cards in the Premier League<\/a> this season, which has contributed to them dropping a 15 points from a winning position.<\/p>\n

That seems to be something that has been fixed so far under Liam Rosenior. <\/p>\n

You can clearly see the agressive approach still, but there\u2019s a more sensible approach in key situations and moments of games, something that went missing under Enzo Maresca. <\/p>\n

Liam Delap still throws himself about a bit too much and Pedro Neto did pick up a silly yellow card in the Champions League, but we are still yet to see a red card with Rosenior on the sideline.<\/p>\n
