Emerson&#8217;s goal was awkward for him to deal with.<\/p>\n<h3>Reece James &#8211; 6<\/h3>\n<p>Failed to track Emerson&#8217;s run for the West Ham equaliser. A solid performance otherwise, putting in dangerous crosses and winning his duels.<\/p>\n<h3>Thiago Silva &#8211; 8(MOTM)<\/h3>\n<p>Made a crucial block from Said Benrahma in the first half. As always, a commanding defensive presence and won key headers in the final stages. A captain&#8217;s display.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/02\/10\/chelsea-agree-thiago-silva-contract-agreement\/\" target=\"_self\">Thiago Silva seals new Chelsea deal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Benoit Badiashile &#8211; 7<\/h3>\n<p>Composed on the ball and wasn&#8217;t at fault for the goal. Booked.<\/p>\n<h3>Marc Cucurella &#8211; 4<\/h3>\n<p>Struggled to defend Tomas Soucek on the left-hand side, and was poor in possession. Didn&#8217;t make any overlapping runs and couldn&#8217;t link up with Mykhailo Mudryk.<\/p>\n<h3>Ruben Loftus-Cheek &#8211; 6<\/h3>\n<p>Made some driving runs from midfield, but otherwise had a largely anonymous game.<\/p>\n<h3>Enzo Fernandez &#8211; 7<\/h3>\n<p>Brilliant assist for Felix&#8217;s goal and orchestrated Chelsea&#8217;s midfield well once again. Has settled into the Premier League admirably.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/02\/03\/chelsea-player-ratings-vs-fulham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Fernandez Impresses &#8211; Chelsea Player Ratings vs Fulham<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Noni Madueke &#8211; 6<\/h3>\n<p>Showed great flashes when cutting inside from the wing. Taken off after 65 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Joao Felix &#8211; 8<\/h3>\n<p>Brilliant first-time finish for the goal, and starred in a free attacking role. Best player on the pitch in the first half but wasn&#8217;t as involved in the second.<\/p>\n<h3>Mykhailo Mudryk &#8211; 7<\/h3>\n<p>Dangerous when he got the ball, great pass for a disallowed goal.<\/p>\n<h3>Kai Havertz &#8211; 6<\/h3>\n<p>Showed tenacity when in the challenge, but didn&#8217;t have much involvement in the game. Made the occasional good run and did convert a disallowed goal in the first half.<\/p>\n<h3>Ben Chilwell(Substitute) &#8211; 7<\/h3>\n<p>Much better defensively than Cucurella, and made some good runs going forward. Dynamic and solid defensively.<\/p>\n<h3>Hakim Ziyech(Substitute) &#8211; 6<\/h3>\n<p>Didn&#8217;t impact the game in the half-hour he was on the pitch.<\/p>\n<h3>Mason Mount(Substitute) &#8211; 6<\/h3>\n<p>Made a good run and cross when he came on, which should have been turned in by Havertz.<\/p>\n<h3>Conor Gallagher(Substitute) &#8211; 6<\/h3>\n<p>Had a shot blocked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1733590\/Chelsea-news-West-Ham-Premier-League-VAR-Conor-Gallagher-Tomas-Soucek\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unlawfully by Soucek&#8217;s hand<\/a> in the final stages.
