Comments:

League position: 5th This was the first time that Chelsea failed to win a Premier League game at Stamford Bridge under manager Antonio Conte when they led at half-time. They won each of the 18 such previous games. The Blues avoided consecutive home defeats in the Premier League for the first time since November 2011 (against Arsenal and Liverpool). N’Golo Kanté made his 100th Premier League appearance in this game.

Comments:

League position: 14th West Ham United avoided defeat in an away game in the Premier League against the reigning champions for the third time (won at Manchester United in 2001-02 and drew at Chelsea in 2015-16). The Hammers had now won one of 17 games so far in this Premier League season when they conceded the first goal. Javier Hernández had now scored more goals against Chelsea than any other team in his career in England (nine in 14 appearances) including five goals in six appearances as a substitute.
