In the second round of the Premier League, West Ham United defeated Chelsea 1-5 at home. After the game, West Ham coach Porter was interviewed by BBC Sports.

◉ About this game

Potter said: "Of course it was very disappointed with the result. We started a good start, scored a beautiful goal, but then conceded a very undeserved goal, which might set the tone for the whole game. We were facing a top team, but the way we lost the ball made it impossible to win. We had to do better."

◉ About conceding

"We were disappointed with conceding the ball, disappointed with the result. We had to cheer up and prepare to fight Wolves and move on."

◉ Asked if we needed new players

"We will certainly keep our attention to signings, but the problem is more fundamental than that, and we must make it harder for our opponent to break through our goal."
