    GOAL - Andy Carroll

    Chelsea 1-2 West Ham

    What a substitution that is from Slaven Bilic! Instant impact from Andy Carroll as he makes a neat diagonal run, latches onto a cracking through ball from Dimitri Payet, and scuffs his finish beyond Thibaut Courtois. The Hammers are back in front!

  3. SUBSTITUTION

    Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    Andy Carroll comes on, Diafra Sakho is off.

  4. Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    Chelsea are really trying to get the ball wide and fire it into the box low and hard at every available opportunity. This time it's Ivanovic whose centre is scrambled clear by Kouyate.

  5. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    And now West Ham go up the other end and nearly regain the lead! Diafra Sakho plays in the rampaging Aaron Cresswell and he rattles the bar. So close!

  6. SUBSTITUTION

    Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    Apologies, I missed a change at half-time - Pedro is on for Kenedy, who was impressive in the first half.

  7. Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    Good spell for Chelsea. Willian releases Ivanovic cleverly and his low cross across the face of goal is turned behind for a corner.

  8. Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    West Ham are under pressure here. Fabregas lofts a free-kick and John Terry heads it menacingly back across the six-yard box, but Adrian is wise to it and punches clear.

  9. CLOSE!

    Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    Now Chelsea go close! Ivanovic whips a low cross across the face of the West Ham goal and it reaches Oscar at the back post, but the angle is tight and he can only turn it into the side netting.

  10. Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    Ooh, has Adrian got away with one here? Remy chases a long punt forward and Adrian comes out to gather it right on the line of the penalty box. He's just about OK.

  11. CLOSE!

    Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    Excellent start by West Ham. They break swiftly and a nice ball releases Dimitri Payet. His cross-shot from a tight angle eludes Thibaut Courtois but is cleared off the line.

  12. KICK-OFF

    Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    Back under way.

    "Having been mumbling and grumbling throughout most of the first half, Chelsea'a fans are in a much more buoyant mood at the break."

  15. HALF-TIME

    Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    And that's the whistle. A disappointing end to that half for West Ham, who wasted a couple of golden chances then conceded a goal out of nothing. But they've been the better side.

    GOAL - Cesc Fabregas

    Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    It looked ominous for West Ham, and so it proved. From about 20 yards out, slightly to the left of goal, Fabregas whips it up and over and beats the dive of Adrian.

  17. YELLOW CARD

    Chelsea 0-1 West Ham

    Winston Reid unwittingly ricochets the ball into the path of Oscar, and then decides he has to take him out. Clear yellow, and a free-kick in a dangerous position for Chelsea...

  18. Chelsea 0-1 West Ham

    There will be three minutes of added time.

  19. Chelsea 0-1 West Ham

    As Simon suggests, Chelsea haven't played with any real fluency. Willian drills a ball towards Cesar Azpilicueta, but Enner Valencia does brilliantly to get back and make the challenge.

  20. Chelsea 0-1 West Ham

    Simon Brotherton
    Match of the Day commentator at Stamford Bridge

    "This has been a disjointed first half from Chelsea's point of view. There's a lack of fluidity about much of their play."
