Tomas Soucek insists West Ham's top four fight is NOT over despite damaging defeat at home to Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea... with Czech midfielder convinced David Moyes' side still have 'big chance' of Champions League qualification

Tomas Soucek is refusing to give up on West Ham's top-four dream despite Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Chelsea.

The injury-hit Hammers lost back-to-back Premier League matches for only the second time this season due to Timo Werner's first-half strike.

They were not helped by a bizarre red card shown to defender Fabian Balbuena, who caught Ben Chilwell's calf after clearing the ball.

But West Ham remain fifth, three points behind the Blues, and with a favourable run-in could still break back into the top four.
