In their Premier League curtain-raiser, West Ham succumbed to a 2-1 away defeat to Chelsea.
The Blues were gifted a penalty early in the second half as Michail Antonio brought down Cesar Azpilicueta in the box, which Eden Hazard thumped into the roof of the net.
Slaven Bilic’s men didn’t look like getting back into the game until James Collins lashed home a volley 13 minutes from time.
The Hammers looked set for a share of the spoils until Diego Costa’s 89th-minute winner gave Chelsea all three points.
A better display is needed on Thursday night as West Ham travel to Romania to play Astra Giurgiu in the Europa League play-offs.
Here’s a selection of the best images from tonight’s game.
