Chelsea miss chance to go top after the Draw

CHELSEA manager Luiz Felipe Scolari struggled for words after his Barclays Premier League title-chasing side dropped more points at their once impregnable Stamford Bridge home.

The 1-1 London derby stalemate against West Ham was the Blues' fourth home league draw this season and meant they failed to leap-frog Liverpool in first place in the table, instead staying a point behind the Merseysiders.

West Ham took the lead through Wales striker Craig Bellamy's 33rd minute effort before Nicolas Anelka equalised for Chelsea six minutes after half-time with his 100th Premier League goal.

"It was a difficult game for us, we had more time with the ball but we scored only one goal and I think if we have more quality in the last (third) we win this game."

Earlier this season Chelsea surrendered their 86-game unbeaten home league record to Liverpool and were subsequently defeated at Stamford Bridge by London rivals Arsenal.
