"Humiliating," Alan Smith said on Sky Sports co-commentary, and it is hard to disagree with the ex-Arsenal man.

Suddenly, the London Stadium broke out into song - but the voices were coming from the away end as the rest of the ground filtered out around them.

And it all started so brightly for West Ham, who took the lead through a rocket of a shot from Lucas Paqueta.

The fans were in fine voice at the time, chanting loudly and making sure to remind their London rivals of the scoreline.

But the alarm bells started ringing when Chelsea equalised moments later from a corner - the first of three goals conceded from a set-piece.

Marc Cucurella (5ft9) flicked on the ball for Pedro, who nodded in a simple routine for the Blues.

The Brazilian then turned provider for namesake Pedro Neto, dinking in a ball where Aaron Wan-Bissaka was supposed to be defending.
