West Ham United impressed as they picked up a point from their Premier League clash with Chelsea.

Manuel Pellegrini has taken to Twitter to comment on West Ham’s draw with Chelsea on Sunday, with the Chilean paying tribute to the Hammers supporters inside the London Stadium.

West Ham picked up only their fourth point of the season as they played out a goalless draw with the Blues, whose own start to the campaign had been flawless until their short trip to take on the Irons.

They may remain just outside the relegation zone, but the signs suggest that West Ham have definitely turned a corner, having collected all of their points in the last two games.

And in many ways, the draw with Chelsea will be as satisfying as the 3-1 victory away at Everton last weekend. Maurizio Sarri’s men have torn teams apart at times this term, putting three past Huddersfield and Arsenal, as well as four past Cardiff. But the Irons defended superbly to keep them at bay.

In fact, it was arguably the Hammers who had the best chance to win the game, with Andriy Yarmolenko failing to put his late header on target following an excellent cross from Robert Snodgrass.

And after the game, Pellegrini took to social media to express his delight at the point and the performance as the side ended their wait for their first clean sheet.
