Chelsea were denied a penalty in the dying moments of the game for what looked like a certain handball as they drew 1-1 with West Ham.
Not 24 hours after signing his contract extension with Chelsea, Thiago Silva captained the side from centre-back with the Blues desperate to claim the victory that would take them back into the European places.
Joao Felix thought he had given Chelsea the lead on 10 minutes as he raced through and finished after two bites at the cherry – but the goal was ruled out for offside.
But the on loan Atlético Madrid man did get his goal soon after as Enzo Fernandez crossed for the Portugal international to volley in.
Chelsea were on a roll now and had their second goal of the game disallowed as Kai Havertz rounded the goalkeeper but had his effort chalked off.
But completely against the run of play, the Hammers equalised through former Blues defender Emerson Palmieri.
The Brazilian found space at the back post and tapped in for an easy finish.
Into the second half and Chelsea went close early on as Reece James’s free kick was flicked on at the near post and just scraped the edge of the far woodwork.
Declan Rice had his own long-range effort shave the post on the hour mark before Kai Havertz’s header went wide from close range.
David Moyes’s were pushing for their own winner though and thought they had found it late on only for Tomas Soucek’s tap in to be ruled out for offside.
There was yet more drama late on however, as in added time Soucek looked to have handled the ball inside the area but the referee waved play on much to the chagrin of everyone in gold.
Chelsea remain in ninth after the draw while West Ham move above Wolves into 15th, for a few hours at least.
