Chelsea followed on from their Capital One Cup victory over Tottenham by beating another London rival.
But the match in the east of the city was not as comfortable as the one to the north at the weekend, with Eden Hazard's first half strike the difference between the league leaders and West Ham.
Thibaut Courtois, recalled in place of Petr Cech, had to be brilliant and was.
West Ham will wonder how they failed to find the back of the net, but poor finishing was also to blame as well as an inspired performance from the Chelsea stopper.
Here, we take a look at how the individual players rated at Upton Park.
