Robert Sanchez hit back at Chelsea supporters who booed the players at Stamford Bridge through the 3-2 comeback win over West Ham on Saturday.
Liam Rosenior’s side were 2-0 all the way down to West Ham by half time following goals from Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville.
Chelsea fans made their feelings clear following the half-time whistle as boos and jeers might be heard around Stamford Bridge.
Nonetheless, Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez took exception to the response as he shouted at supporters near the tunnel: ‘Come one, stay calm, we’ve got 45 minutes to go, stick with us.’
Rosenior made three changes at half time with Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella and Joao Pedro replacing Benoit Badiashile, Jorrel Hato and Alejandro Garnacho.
Joao Pedro’s header within the 57th minute got Chelsea on their way before Cucurella equalised 13 minutes later. Enzo Fernandez then scored the winner in injury time to make it three consecutive Premier League wins for Rosenior’s side.

When asked in regards to the negative response from Chelsea fans at half time, Rosenior said: ‘I even have to say the fans were magnificent within the second half. I could sense after two minutes of the second half they were with us.
‘They were right to boo. I might have booed us in the primary half. Our performance was nowhere near the extent it needed to be collectively by way of our energy and our decision-making. That’s fair. So to see them after the sport, 45 minutes later, so completely satisfied and delighted with what they saw from the team makes me very proud.
‘I said to the players at half time, we are able to make what probably is the worst feeling of the season one of the best feeling of the season. And I feel they went out and performed magnificently within the second half.
‘Look, this can be a club with huge demands. The fans pay fortunes to observe us play. They demand the minimum that we win duels. We’ve run for one another and I felt in the primary half that wasn’t there.
‘But I even have to say, I even have to present credit to the team, the subs who got here on. Enzo Fernandez was magnificent for 95 minutes. And we showed ultimately what the fans demand by way of what we give to this club.’
