West Ham vs Chelsea: Player Ratings

by Jamie Clark

Oscar: Won a penalty €“ he was looking for it mind €“ and then scored himself in open play. Could've had another, but fired wide on the slide. Subbed. 6.5/10.

Eden Hazard: Assisted Oscar's goal, but did precious little else here. Fortunately he didn't need to, but must motivate himself for run of the mill matches as well as big games. 5.5/10. Samuel Eto'o: Showed endeavour, but not execution. Attempted chip kept out at full stretch by Jaaskelainen. You get the feeling Torres is first choice, but January reinforcements may be on the way up front. 5/10. Subs: Demba Ba: Had ball in net against former club in stoppage time, but rightly flagged offside. Ba might be due to another audition in the XI in the absence of Torres. 5.5/10. Andre Schurrle: Came on late on. Rating N/A. Michael Essien: A cameo for a few minutes. Rating N/A. Who was your man of the match? Have your say below.
