The two sides drew 2-2 at Upton Park on Saturday afternoon.
West Ham midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate was in good form at Upton Park as his side drew 2-2 with Chelsea.
The Hammers twice had the lead in the game against Guus Hiddink’s side, but had to share the points following a penalty from Cesc Fabregas.
It was a disappointing result for Slaven Bilic’s side, who could have moved into the top four had they managed to secure all three points.
One man who didn’t disappoint was Cheikhou Kouyate, who put in a top performance to celebrate his signing of a new contract this week.
