West Ham v Chelsea ratings: Rice 7, Benrahma 5; Felix 7, Havertz 6

Blues boss Graham Potter admits there is work to do after more dropped points

• 

  WEST HAM UNITED RATINGS: Lukasz Fabianski 6 – Had little chance with Chelsea’s opener, but dealt with everything else thrown at him and commanded his box when needed against the Blues' array of attacking talent. Getty

• 

  Thilo Kehrer 6 – Part of a three-man backline that looked as though it was in for a long afternoon in the first half, but after the equaliser dug in and kept Chelsea’s superstars from breaching the defence again. AP

• 

  Angelo Ogbonna 6 – A commanding afternoon from the Italian who didn’t allow Kai Havertz many opportunities and kept the Hammers back-three in check in the second half to earn his side a point. EPA

• 

  Nayef Aguerd 6 – Would have been disappointed to see Joao Felix bypass him to score Chelsea’s opener, but he recovered and rarely let the Blues get in behind. Was forced off with what looked like an injury late on. Reuters

• 

  Vladimir Coufal 6 – Looked like he could be in for a tough afternoon against Mudryk, but like West Ham improved as the game went on. Played the cross into the box for West Ham’s equaliser and stood firm in the second period. AP

• 

  Emerson Palmieri 7 – Scored his first-ever Premier League goal with the equaliser against his old club to get West Ham back into the game. In defence, he kept Chelsea’s right side of Reece James and Noni Madueke relatively quiet for the majority of the game. Getty

• 

  Lucas Paqueta N/A – Lasted just 13 minutes after suffering an injury to his right shoulder that ended his afternoon prematurely. EPA

• 

  Declan Rice 7 – A day when Rice did the dirty work effectively and after a troubling start where Chelsea controlled the midfield, took control of the game and didn’t allow the Blues to dictate the play. EPA

• 

  Jarred Bowen 6 – Brought his recent resurgence in form into the game and from the off looked like West Ham’s likeliest way of getting something. His clever, headed flick resulted in Emerson netting the equaliser. AP

• 

  Said Benrahma 5 – Not an afternoon to remember for the Algerian who struggled to make an impact and was the Hammers’ least effective attacker. Was no surprise to see him make way in the second half. Reuters

• 

  Michail Antonio 5 – Got what you expected from the West Ham forward, who battled with Chelsea’s backline without getting much joy. Held-up the ball well when needed and did the best with the half-chances presented to him. PA

• 

  SUBS: Tomas Soucek (Lucas Paqueta 13) 6 – A good opportunity for the Czech to get himself back into the team following Paqueta’s injury and he reunited with Rice to prevent Chelsea from controlling the midfield. Was unlucky to see a late goal chalked off by VAR. AP

• 

  Danny Ings (Michail Antonio 66) 5 – Couldn’t get into the game and failed to seek out a chance to nab a winner for the home side. Reuters

• 

  Flynn Downes (Said Benrahma 66) 5 – Helped to stifle Chelsea in the closing stages and added more control in the centre of the park. Ben Johnson (Nayef Aguerd 79) N/A. Reuters

• 

  CHELSEA RATINGS: Kepa Arrizabalaga 6 – The Spanish stopper had very little to do - especially in the first half where he was only called into action from a routine save from Antonio. No chance with the Hammers’ goal and would have been happy to see Soucek’s goal ruled out. Getty

• 

  Reece James 5 –Was caught ball-watching for West Ham’s equaliser and it wasn’t the usual all-action display we’ve come to expect from the England defender. Failed to really pose a threat from the right, but was mostly comfortable. Action Images

• 

  Thiago Silva 6 –Chelsea’s best defender, who didn’t give Antonio and then Ings very much to work with for the whole game. Also pulled off a last-ditch tackle in the first half to show why he was worth that new contract. AP

• 

  Benoit Badiashile 6 – Had a good tussle with Antonio, resulting in a second-half booking, and will be disappointed to concede his first goal as a Chelsea player. AP

• 

  Marc Cucurella 6 –Struggled to covert his possession into any real danger going forward, even though he saw a lot of the ball. Signs that a partnership is developing with Mudryk on Chelsea’s left flank. AP

• 

  Ruben Loftus-Cheek 5 – Played a key part in Chelsea’s good start, but faded as the game went on. Helped dictate play in the centre and carried the ball forward with some driving runs into the box. AP

• 

  Enzo Fernandez 7 – A stellar first half where he controlled the game. Constantly found room in the midfield and set up the goal for Felix, but the Argentinian failed to keep up the same level of performance in the second half. PA

• 

  Noni Madueke 6 – Lots of running and willingness on his first start for the club, but it failed to materialise into anything. He constantly looked to cut in on Chelsea’s right flank, and looks like he will be a real handful. AP

• 

  Joao Felix 7 – The best player on the pitch as West Ham failed to deal with his movement and threat from behind. Ghosted past the defence to open his account for the club with a neat finish and looked every bit the £100m player. Getty

• 

  Mykhailo Mudryk 5 – Saw a lot of the ball in the first half but never really got into the game and was well marshalled by the West Ham defence. Was no surprise to see him hooked in the second half. Reuters

• 

  Kai Havertz 6 – Bright and effective in Chelsea’s early dominance and was unlucky to see a goal ruled out for offside in the first half. Still gave the Blues a focal point in the second half, but couldn’t get past West Ham’s impressive defensive display. Getty

• 

  SUBS: Ben Chilwell (Marco Cucureall 66) 5 – Pleasing to see the England defender back and linked up well with Kai Havertz to fashion a chance. AP

• 

  Mason Mount (Noni Madueke) 5 – His usual industrious self, but despite flashing one ball across the box couldn’t help Chelsea find a winner. AP

• 

  Hakim Ziyech 4 – Gave away a silly foul that almost cost Chelsea the game before Soucek’s goal was chalked off for offside. Offered very little. AP

• 

  Conor Gallagher (Ruben Loftus-Cheek 78) N/A – Late sub to give the midfield engine more legs as Loftus-Cheek and Fernandez faded. Reuters

Graham Potter admitted Chelsea are still “a work in progress” after their winless Premier League run extended to three games as Joao Felix's first goal for the Blues was cancelled out by Emerson in Saturday's 1-1 draw at West Ham.

Potter's expensively assembled side once again failed to live up to their price tags as the pressure mounted on the Blues boss.

Portugal forward Felix put Chelsea ahead in his second appearance for the club, only for Italy defender Emerson to haunt his former team with an equaliser before half-time.

Ninth-placed Chelsea have won just one of their past eight games in all competitions and are nine points adrift of the Premier League's top four.

“The second half was more of a reflection of where we are in terms of integrating new players and getting players up to speed in the Premier League,” Potter said.

“I think you saw the potential in the first half. You can't control what people say from the outside, you see it how it is and carry on working.

“They are a good group and we are excited with the team and the potential but it is still a work in progress.”
