Chelsea are all but out of the Champions League next season after they allowed West Ham to come from behind to draw 1-1 at Stamford Bridge.
Super Eagles forward, Victor Moses, featured for Chelsea and went close on a few occasions before he was replaced by Pedro on 77 minutes.
On a day when fans paid an emotional tribute to club legend, Ray Wilkins, who died last week aged just 61, there was no victory to relieve the heartache at Stamford Bridge.
Antonio Conte’s side did go ahead in the first half through Cesar Azpilicueta but took their foot off the pedal after the break when substitute Javier Hernandez rescued a point for West Ham, edging the east London side closer to Premier League safety.
Hernandez, a former Manchester United, has now scored six goals in the seven games when he has come on as a substitute against Chelsea.
The result, greeted by boos by the home fans, leaves Chelsea still in fifth place, 10 points behind Tottenham (and with a vastly inferior goal difference) with only six games to play, while the Hammers are 14th, six points above the relegation zone.
After last weekend’s 3-1 loss to Tottenham, who also beat Stoke on Saturday, the Blues sit are staring down the barrel of Europa League football next season.
