On a chilly November evening, West Ham United pulled off a stunning upset at Stamford Bridge, defeating Chelsea 1-0 in the Premier League on November 30, 2019.

Aaron Cresswell's 48th-minute goal proved to be the decisive strike, as he latched onto a pass from Pablo Fornals and cut inside Chelsea's 19-year-old defender Reece James before shooting into the far corner past Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Despite Chelsea looking a little off the pace after their thrilling 2-2 draw with Valencia in the Champions League, they had looked the more likely to score until Cresswell's goal.

Manuel Pellegrini's West Ham held on under late home pressure to record their first league away win since August, a much-needed boost for the team.
