Juan Mata put Chelsea ahead early on, but strikes from Carlton Cole, Mo Diame and Modibo Maiga turned the game on its head.


The full-time whistle was greeted by booing and protest for the third game in a row from Chelsea fans, with a large section continuing to hold aloft posters demanding for Benitez to be sacked.


The result made for a tense post-match press conference, in which Benitez was greeted by a host of difficult questions - including a number about whether he fears he will be sacked less than a fortnight after taking charge.


Many of those were coolly deflected, but Benitez did finish up confessing he was not '100% sure' if he would still be Blues boss by the end of the season.


It's a shock admission to the nightmare that is unfolding at Stamford Bridge, but rival boss Allardyce said he had no sympathy for the Spaniard's plight.


'We don't have sympathy for each other,' the West Ham manager said.


'We compete against each other. We play mind games against each other.'


'You can't do it; you can't manage a team when the fans turn.'


The Blues fans are expected to continue their chants such as 'you're not wanted here' and 'you're getting sacked in the morning' in next week's must-win Champions League clash against Nordsjaelland.
