GK Łukas Fabiański: 8/10

The main reason why West Ham even managed a point in this encounter. Made multiple good saves and put pressure on Chelsea's forwards. Definitely the better of the two goalkeepers in the match.

RB Pablo Zabaleta: 6/10

Played up front on the right wing during the first half and received a couple of key through-balls. Otherwise helped keep the Iron's defense solid and reduced Eden Hazard's impact in the defending half.

CB Issa Diop: 5/10

Has not had the best of starts to his West Ham career but managed to keep Chelsea from scoring. Didn't look too convincing against Olivier Giroud and Eden Hazard though as Balbuena covered up more of the central defense.

CB Fabián Balbuena: 6/10

Arguably the better of the two central defenders, Balbuena is slowly starting to cement his position in the squad with this performance. Executed his job thoroughly and didn't make any costly mistakes.

LB Arthur Masuaku: 6.5/10

Like the other defenders, Masuaku played well and even prevented Willian from creating chances on the left side of West Ham's half. Played the entire 90 minutes and looks to cement his place in Pellegrini's starting eleven.

CM Mark Noble (c): 6.5/10

The veteran captain was influential as always in the center of West Ham's midfield. Helped stabilise the iron's defense by playing back during the second half. Was substituted for Colombian Carlos Sanchez in the 85th minute.

M Declan Rice: 7/10

Rice was the star of West Ham's midfield in this match. The 19-year-old provided key passes in the center of the pitch and also made a couple of good interceptions.

CM Pedro Obiang: 5/10

Played a part in their midfield but didn't have a standout performance against Chelsea.

RW Andriy Yarmolenko: 7.5/10

Had arguably the best chance of scoring between the two sides but failed to convert it into a win. Otherwise was very influential for the side and helped create multiple chances.

ST Michail Antonio: 8/10

Nearly scored twice during the first half but narrowly missed the target. Was so far West Ham's most prominent player on the pitch and did help worry Chelsea's defence. Substituted for Lucas Perez in the 65th minute.

LW Felipe Anderson: 6/10

Started the game off well and looked influencing in the opponent half. Didn't manage to have a meaningful impact in the second half of the game. Substituted for Robert Snodgrass in the 74th minute.
