West Ham produced a very good performance against Chelsea on Sunday to earn a hard-fought 1-1 draw in a match that saw the referee award 2 penalty kicks, one for each side, that were converted to goals.

West Ham’s hard-working midfielder Scott Parker, who played an outstanding game against The Blues, hailed his side’s “do or die” attitude.

“It was do or die for us,” he told Sky Sports. “And we’ve gone out there and gave our all against a very good Chelsea side.

“We’ve been lacking a little bit of fight, passion and a bit of the gritty stuff of late but today we did that.

“It’s a massive result for us although obviously we would have loved to get the three points.

“But it’s a big lift and we were not expecting it. We’ve done really well and we can now push on.”

Parker also commented on the controversial penalty awarded to Chelsea, “I don’t think it should have been one.

“It’s a harsh penalty. But the linesman thought it was one. That’s how it goes.”
