Carroll's winner against Chelsea was his first goal since he scored against Hull on 18 January 2015

Chelsea had midfielder Nemanja Matic and manager Jose Mourinho sent off as Andy Carroll's late winner gave West Ham a 2-1 win.

Mauro Zarate fired the Hammers in front when Chelsea failed to clear a corner.

Matic was sent off after being booked twice in nine minutes before the break, and Mourinho joined him after speaking to referee Jon Moss at half-time.

Gary Cahill levelled from a corner but Carroll's first goal since January 2015 sent the Hammers third in the table.

Chelsea, who have now lost five of their first 10 Premier League games this season, continue to sit in the bottom half of the table.

As well as Matic and Mourinho, the Blues' assistant first-team coach Silvino Louro was also dismissed.
