Gary Neville names two Chelsea stars responsible for 3-2 loss at West Ham

Gary Neville has slammed Marcos Alonso and Antonio Rudiger for costing Chelsea a point after Andriy Yarmolenko scored an added-time winner for West Ham to seal a 3-2 victory on Wednesday night. The Ukraine international showed pace to leave Alonso in his wake before Rudiger allowed Yarmolenko to cut in on his preferred left foot and slotted past Kepa. Sky Sports pundit Neville was quick to slam Alonso and Rudiger for their poor defending. “Rudiger showed a lack of knowledge and a lack of intelligence [for Yarmolenko’s winner],” Neville said during his commentary on Sky Sports. “He has to keep Yarlomenko off his left foot. [His defending] leaves Kepa with no chance.” Neville added: “What are you doing Marcos Alonso? There’s his running back speed. It has cost Chelsea the game. It’s poor defending from Rudiger. Alonso was level with Yarmolenko and he doesn’t bother [to run back]. You should run back as fast as you can when your team lose the ball. You learn that at the age of six.” Chelsea are now only two points ahead of Manchester United in the race to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League. Source: thesportreview
