Troy Deeney has ripped into West Ham United for their shocking performance against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon by stating that Julen Lopetegui 's side were 'awful' - before digging out an old quote of his in which he had predicted the Irons to be poor under the Spaniard after they sacked David Moyes in the summer.

Chelsea have won 30 of the 56 Premier League meetings between the two – they’ve only beaten Tottenham more often in the division (35 times). The home team won both Premier League matches last season: 3-1 for West Ham at the London Stadium and 5-0 for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Julen Lopetegui says he understands West Ham United fans’ boos after his side’s 3-0 home defeat by Chelsea. Two goals from Nicolas Jackson in the first 20 minutes and a third from Cole Palmer shortly after half-time inflicted West Ham’s third defeat of the season.
