Chelsea thwart West Ham

LONDON -- Three quick thought's from Chelsea's 2-2 Premier League draw with West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

1. West Ham miss their chance at the top four

Cesc Fabregas denied West Ham United the chance to go into the top four with a controversial late penalty that salvaged a 2-2 draw for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. For long periods of the game, it looked like the visiting side would leave with the points. Manuel Lanzini opened the scoring for West Ham after 17 minutes before Fabregas equalised on the stroke of half-time from a free kick.
