Chelsea midfielder, Carney Chukwuemeka, netted his first ever senior goal in a 3-1 defeat to West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday.
Chukwuemeka joined the Blues from Aston Villa last season.
The England U-20 international started the 1-1 draw against Liverpool last week and was given the same opportunity at the London Stadium.
Nayef Aguerd nodded West Ham into a seventh-minute lead, taking advantage of some non-existent Chelsea marking to head home debutant James Ward-Prowse’s inch-perfect corner kick, before Carney Chukwuemeka – later subbed with a knee injury – levelled with a delicious strike, the 19-year-old’s first in the Premier League.
In fact, the Blues – who resisted the temptation to hand Moises Caicedo his debut after his recent British-record transfer from Brighton – really should have gone in ahead at the break, only for Enzo Fernandez to see his poorly struck penalty saved by Alphonse Areola on the stroke of half-time.
That proved key as against the run of play, Michail Antonio slammed the hosts back in front eight minutes after half-time and despite Aguerd then seeing red midway through the second half after a second yellow, the Hammers held on for a rousing win, sealed by Lucas Pacqeta’s stoppage-time penalty after a foul by Caicedo on Emerson.
