The Hammers should've have won the game but Andriy Yarmolenko and Michail Antonio couldn't make the most of their big chances. Lukasz Fabianski and Declan Rice were among the top performers for West Ham, but they may have been outshone by an unlikely hero. Pablo Zabaleta faced the daunting task of shutting down Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard and he was more than up to the challenge with a fantastic display – at the back and going forward. Express Sport has rounded up the West Ham player ratings during their clash with Chelsea. Lukasz Fabianski – 7 The most consistent performer for West Ham this season. Fabianski dealt admirably with the half-chances fired his way and commanded his area well. Pablo Zabaleta – 8 Much of the build-up focused on Eden Hazard, but the veteran full-back completely shut him down and even provided an attacking threat. A terrific display. Issa Diop – 7 Calm, composed, assured. Everything you need from a centre-back without ever being tested to his limits. West Ham player ratings: Declan Rice was impressive throughout Fabian Balbuena – 7 His role was uncertain at the start of the season but he's growing into a real presence. Balbuena's partnership and understanding with Diop is already blossoming. Arthur Masuaku – 6 Caught out at the back more than once. He's a decent attacker, but needs to be more disciplined in defence. Mark Noble – 7 Worked hard for the team. The Hammers may need more creativity in the shape of Jack Wilshere against teams around them, but he was suited to today's game. Declan Rice – 8 Growing in confidence with every game. Rice stayed calm and grafted hard despite lining up opposite N'Golo Kante, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic.

The Blues barely threatened the Hammers and could have lost the game had it not been for Kepa Arrizabalaga's heroics between the sticks. Cesar Azpilicueta and N'Golo Kante have proven themselves to be among the most important players for Chelsea, but neither played well today. However, neither player ranked as the most disappointing player in a blue shirt in east London.<doc-sep>1. KEPA ARRIZABALAGA (7.5) Minutes: 90 Touches: 28 Passing: 22/25 Saves: 1 Arrizabalaga hasn’t had much to actually do since arriving for a world record fee in the summer to replace Thibaut Courtois, and even on Sunday he faced just 1 shot on target (from 7 shots attempted by West Ham) ... but by saving that one shot, he did his part in preserving Chelsea’s clean sheet and thus, a share of the points. 2. ROSS BARKLEY (6.7, sub) Minutes: 12 Touches: 13 Passing: 8/9 Shots: 1/1 That Ross Barkley managed to pose greater danger to West Ham’s goal than anyone else, and in just a little over a dozen minutes on the pitch probably sums up yesterday’s proceedings quite well. Fabianski made several excellent stops on Sunday, with every part of his body including his face, but perhaps none were more impressive than his dive to tip Barkley’s goalbound curling effort wide at the far post. 3. ANTONIO RÜDIGER (6.6) Minutes: 68 Touches: 90 Passing: 81/86 Shots: 1/1 Get well soon, Toni! We can’t afford to be without our best center back for any significant length of time. vs. WEST HAM (PL, A, D 0-0) EXCEPTIONAL (9.0+): — EXCELLENT (8.0-8.9): — GOOD (7.0-7.9): Arrizabalaga (7.5) AVERAGE (6.0-6.9): Barkley (6.7, sub), Rüdiger (6.6), Jorginho (6.2), Kovačić (6.1), Alonso (6.0), Azpilicueta (6.0) POOR (5.0-5.9): Kanté (5.9), Hazard (5.9), David Luiz (5.8), Cahill (5.8, sub), Willian (5.7), Morata (5.6, sub), Giroud (5.5) BAD (4.0-4.9): — TERRIBLE (3.0-3.9): — OVERALL<doc-sep>Chelsea’s winning run finally ends, while West Ham United’s poor run seems definitively over. As to why that was, and why this derby ended 0-0, that’s as difficult to figure out as this game was to watch. West Ham do seem to have found a creditable resilience that had been so conspicuously missing in those porous early defeats, but was that here only because a flat Chelsea at last levelled out? Unlike similar performances in the first five games, this time they couldn't find that moment of individual inspiration to clinch a close game. This really didn’t look like the London derby this usually is, but instead a match between two teams under new managers still finding out what’s what. This is exactly why Maurizio Sarri has been stating Chelsea are not title contenders. It says much that the moments that mostly defined the game were air-swipes and bad misses, the latter most notably coming from Andriy Yarmolenko and – right at the end – Willian, who blazed well wide from just a few yards out.

He then combined with Lanzini to clear Zouma’s header off the line but couldn’t do much to keep out Cahill’s powerful equaliser. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Carl Jenkinson - 6 out of 10 Performed well against the threat of Hazard, but was outmuscled enough by Zouma to put him off clearing the ball in the build-up to Cahill’s goal. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings James Tomkins - 7 out of 10 Former a solid partnership with Collins to keep Cost quiet all game. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings James Collins - 7 out of 10 Made several key clearances to deal with Chelsea’s attacks while 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Aaron Cresswell - 7 out of 10 Performed well to keep a grip on Willian in the game, although there were moments he was outrun by the Brazilian. However, he played the key ball into the area that Carroll secured the win from and he will see this as a fine game. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Mark Noble - 6 out of 10 Performed well to marshal his side and deal with danger in the middle of the park. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Cheikhou Kouyate - 6 out of 10 Worked well in midfield to contain Fabregas in the first half, but allowed Cahill to run free before he equalised. Still, it didn’t matter too much with Carroll later scoring. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Manuel Lanzini - 7 out of 10 Despite playing through the middle, the winger kept dropping to the flanks to cause Chelsea all sorts of problems. But he carried out his defensive duties well ded – bullying Fabregas off the ball in one incident before clearing ball from Costa’s path and cleared Zouma’s header off line. Should have made it 2-0 but chipped ball over bar with time and space. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Dmitri Payet - 7 out of 10 The winger won and took the corner that Zarate scored from while creating several other chances for the home side. His pace caused Zouma problems especially as he regularly linked up with Lanzini to create attacks. West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Mauro Zarate - 8 out of 10 Scored West Ham’s opener in the 15th minute with his low drive after finding himself completely unmarked. Had less of an impact going forwards than Lanzini and Payet, but stepped up when needed. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Diafra Sakho - 5 out of 10 Endured a very quiet game and did not make an impact up front for the home side. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings From the bench: Andy Carroll - 8 out of 10 Was brought on for goalscorer Zarate and the striker outmuscled Cahill to make it 2-1. An inspired substitution. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings CHELSEA: Asmir Begovic - 6 out of 10 Did well when forced into action but again, was let down by his defence. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Kurt Zouma - 6 out of 10 The defender’s header came to within an inch of giving Chelsea the equaliser, but goal-line technology ruled it just on the line. The Frenchman played a part in the Blues’ equaliser, applying the pressure to put Jenkinson off clearing Willian’s corner, which eventually fell to Cahill. However, he did have a few moments where he appeared unsure in his new position of right-back. West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Gary Cahill - 6 out of 10 Got Chelsea back into the game when he equalised with a fine shot in the 56th minute – his first Premier League goal in 350 days – but was outjumped by Carroll for West Ham’s second goal. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings John Terry - 5 out of 10 Initially defended well, but was to blame for failing to adequately clear the ball in the build-up to Carroll’s match-winning goal. 2015 Getty Images West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Cesar Azpilicueta - 5 out of 10 Left Zarate complete unmarked for the opener before being shown a yellow for a foul on Lanzini. In contrast to recent weeks, looked more vulnerable at left-back against the Hammers. West Ham vs Chelsea - player ratings Ramires - 5 out of 10 Struggled to contain the pace and trickery of Lanzini, Payet and Zarate ,who kept interchanging and running riot in midfield.<doc-sep>
Kepa Arrizabalaga Made an excellent stop from Michail Antonio in the first stop with the Englishman firing from close range. Really not tested very much at all in the second half and was a bystander for much of the second 45 minutes. 7 Cesar Azpilicueta Had a really tough first half against Felipe Anderson as the winger beat him on a couple of occasions to set up breaks. A difficult afternoon and he wasn't at his best. 5 David Luiz Good again with the ball at his feet, but exposed a bit with a few breaks. Sloppy when Antonio managed to get a shot in from close range. A couple of times beaten again by Antonio for pace and still looks a little shaky at the back at times. 6 Antonio Rudiger Again strong in the tackle, but at times left exposed with West Ham breaking away well to get on to the Chelsea goal. A couple of poor balls forward in the first half. Carried that on in the second half. However, had to come off with 20 minutes to go with what looked like a groin injury. 7 Marcos Alonso Not in the game at all really in the first half as he struggled to make an impact in the match. That carried on to the second half as well and it was his worst game in a while. 4 Jorginho His pass count was superb at times and he played a couple of excellent balls over the top, especially one to Giroud in which the Frenchman should have done better. Defensively was beaten a few times by the West Ham midfield as well. Passed a lot, but to now real avail at times. 6 N'Golo Kante His link up with Willian was very poor and it was a sub-standard first half from the Frenchman. Beaten a few times on the break as well, had a couple of headers that went wide. A bad afternoon for him as he picked up a yellow card and it was bizarre to see him trying to win headers in the opposition's box. 4 Mateo Kovacic Looked the brightest players at time in the first half and made some excellent runs in the first 20 minutes. However, he faded in the game and really wasn't very influential as it went on. 5 Eden Hazard Tried to make things happen and in the opening 20 minutes he had a couple of decent shots on target. However, West Ham dealt with him pretty well at times. Couldn't get in the game at times and the threat was nullified by the home side. Not a great day for him. 5 Willian Nothing really went for the Brazilian in the first half and some of his passes were sloppy that meant moves broke down. Second half really wasn't much better from the winger and he looked like he was fading pretty badly. 4 Olivier Giroud Had one really good chance in the first half but he fluffed his lines when he didn't connect with a volley. A couple of nice link-ups with the other forwards, but not enough to make an impact. 5 Substitutes Alvaro Morata (on for Giroud 65') Had one effort well saved by Fabianski. 5 Gary Cahill (on for Rudiger 69') Solid when he came on. 6 Ross Barkley (on for Kovacic 79') Had a really decent effort well saved. 6 Keep up to date with the latest news, features and exclusives from football.london via the free football.london app for iPhone and Android.
