West Ham winger Michail Antonio was awarded his fourth start of the season by manager Manuel Pellegrini but once again turned out to be a disappointment. The 28-year-old had a couple of great opportunities to put the Hammers in front at halftime but his efforts went in vain.

Antonio's first attempt at goal was a slightly harder one but his second opportunity was the opposite.

Only a few yards away from goal, the Englishman failed to find the back of the net from point-blank range and instead shot it straight towards the hands of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

In spite of his poor finishing, Antonio went missing at certain stages of the game as he managed to accumulate just 25 touches of the ball and was unable to provide any support during his stay on the pitch.

The former Sheffield Wednesday man completed just 12 passes and failed to deliver any successful crosses into the box before being substituted right after the one-hour mark.
