West Ham vs Chelsea player ratings
Show all 22West Ham secured their first victory under David Moyes after defeating Chelsea 1-0 at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon, dealing Antonio Conte's side a serious blow to any Premier League title hopes that they still harboured.
The Hammers made a flying start to the match and took the lead within six minutes of kick-off, with Marko Arnautovic heavily involved in a move that ended with the Austrian curling the ball around Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
The reigning champions were largely off-colour for the duration of the first half, with West Ham having the better chances after the opening goal.
But the introduction of Pedro at half-time - on for the ineffectual Tiemoue Bakayoko - gave Chelsea an extra prong to their attack, and that allowed both Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata to go close in the second half.
But in the end, West Ham were able to hold on as they repelled wave after wave of Chelsea attacks to secure a valuable three points that moves the east Londoners up to 18th and only in the relegation zone on points difference.
