'Disasterclass' - Moises Caicedo SLAMMED on Twitter after SHOCKING Chelsea debut
Moises Caicedo endured a nightmare Chelsea debut as he came on as a second-half substitute and gave away a penalty as West Ham United ran out 3-1 winners over Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
The Ecuador international’s poor lunging challenge on Emerson Palmieri gave Lucas Paqueta the chance to put the game to bed from the spot, something the Brazilian coolly did as he sent Robert Sanchez the wrong way to score his first goal of the campaign.
Caicedo was lucky to not have caused another goal just moments earlier too; he cheaply gave the ball away to Pablo Fornals on the edge of his box, which forced Sanchez into a smart save down to his right.

Nayef Aguerd put West Ham 1-0 up with a back-post header from a James Ward-Prowse before Carney Chukwuemeka's excellent first senior goal saw Chelsea draw level before half-time.
The Blues then had the chance to take the lead for the first time this season, but Enzo Fernandez saw his penalty well saved by Alphonse Areola.
Michail Antonio's second-half strike gave West Ham the lead before Paqueta sealed the win after Caicedo's challenge on Emerson.
