Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole agree on major penalty incident in West Ham vs Chelsea clash

Chelsea saw their run without a Premier League win extend to three games after being taken to a draw by West Ham at London Stadium. The Blues flew out the blocks in the first half with Enzo Fernandez and Joao Felix combining for the Portugal international to open the scoring, but defensive errors cost Graham Potter's men once again with former Chelsea star Emerson Palmieri levelling the game.

Chances were at a premium in the second half with neither Kepa Arrizabalaga nor Lukasz Fabianski tested but two huge moments occurred in the final 10 minutes. Tomas Soucek thought he'd scored the winner after he poked home Kepa's save from a Declan Rice header, but the latter was deemed offside.

Soucek was then again involved in a key moment at the other end when he blocked a Conor Gallagher shot while falling to the ground that brought vigorous appeals from the Chelsea players who were asking for a penalty because of handball.
