West Ham United v Chelsea FC - Premier League
Chelsea lost their 100% perfect start to the season

#1 Hit: Lukasz Fabianski

Liverpool FC v West Ham United - Premier League
Fabianski kept his first clean sheet of the season

While Michail Antonio and Andriy Yarmolenko cost Manuel Pellegrini's side two points, goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski rescued two points for his team.

The Polish International made two remarkable saves that kept the West Ham alive in the game and saved them from the jaws of defeat. Firstly, Fabianski denied substitute Alvaro Morata, who nearly scored off his second touch after coming on the pitch.

The ball fell right to the Chelsea striker as a result of poor first touch from David Luiz off a set piece. However, Fabianski was brave enough and rushed off his line, took Morata's shot on the face and cleared the ball away from danger to keep the game scoreless.

The 33-year-old's second important save came during the final minutes of the game. Ross Barkley's effort on goal from distance saw the ball dip but Fabianski was ready and had no problem getting his hands around the ball and made a comfortable save to earn a well-deserved point for the Hammers.
