Chelsea 1-1 West Ham United: Javier Hernandez stuns wasteful Blues

West Ham completed the ultimate smash and grab at Stamford Bridge as they earned a draw against a dominant Chelsea side.

Antonio Conte's side controlled the game and created a plethora of chances, notably through Willian, but their complacency in front of goal was duly punished. Substitute Javier Hernandez's clinical 73rd minute equaliser was just his side's fourth touch inside the Chelsea box.

The ever-reliable Cesar Azpilicueta had initially put the Blues ahead in the 36th minute, reacting fastest to Alvaro Morata's nod-down and dedicating the goal to the late Ray Wilkins.

Any lingering hopes of a top four finish are extinguished for the home side, while David Moyes claims an invaluable point in the Irons' battle for Premier League survival.
