Standard Sport assesses the individual performances from Chelsea's 1-0 victory over West Ham at Upton Park.

The Blues followed up their Capital One Cup victory with a hard-fought win on their return to Barclays Premier League business at the home of the Hammers.

Jose Mourinho won a first trophy of his second spell as Blues boss with a 2-0 win over Tottenham on Sunday and Chelsea remain well placed to add a first Premier League title in five years.

The Hammers had one win in 17 against the Blues entering the contest but refused to be cowed by the leaders and deserved more, only for Eden Hazard's first-half header to settle the contest, keeping Chelsea five points clear of second-placed Manchester City.
