3 Key Talking Points From Chelsea’s Draw vs West Ham: Fabregas The Saviour As Ivanovic’s Woeful Form Continues

What a cracker of a game. It had all sorts of drama. Players showing dissent to the referees, penalty kick being offered in the last minutes of the match, a wonderful curling free-kick that equalised the scores and a whole lot of yellow cards coming out. Both the teams finally came out with a point each post a 2-2 draw. Lanzini and Carroll got on the score sheet for the visitors and it was Spaniard Fabregas who got both the goals for Chelsea. There were a lot of talking points from this game and let us look at three important things we picked up from this match.

Cesc Fabregas stepped up when it was required the most for the team. Whilst the first goal was a wonderfully taken free-kick that levelled the scores before going into the dugout at half-time, his calmly taken penalty towards the end of the match ensured that Chelsea got a point out of this match. Although he too ended up in the referee’s book at the end of the match, he would be pleased with his overall performance.

The same however cannot be said of Branislav Ivanovic who was slotted back to his original position of right back after he was forced to play as a centre-back, following the injuries to their players. Though at times his runs on the flank did put Cresswell under pressure, yet at times, he left too much space behind which was used to good effect by Dimitri Payet. Following this performance, it is of imperative importance that Chelsea sorts out their right back problem in the upcoming transfer window.
