The Blues thought they’ve taken the lead in 60th minute after Dawson received a straight red card for denying Lukaku a goal-scoring opportunity, handing them a penalty.

But Jorginho’s weak penalty was saved by Fabianski just a few minutes later to deny the Blues the lead.

West Ham played excellent defense throughout, but there was little time on the clock for them to equalize.

The victory sees Chelsea break their three-game losing streak at home and strengthen their hold on third place, opening up a five-point gap over Arsenal, with a trip to Manchester United on Thursday up next for the Blues.

 

Meanwhile, West Ham are still in seventh place and will focus on the Europa League semi-finals against Frankfurt in midweek.
