West Ham boss Allardyce on Chelsea stalemate: Best performance of season

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce rates their draw at Chelsea as the best performance of the season.

Allardyce lauded his players for implementing his tactics in a result he believes was on a par with the 3-0 win at Tottenham earlier in the season.

The Hammers boss added: "This one probably equals (Tottenham) because of the position we're in and the problems we've had recently.

"It was all about frustrating a team that's got world-class players and not to come here and lie down.

"Tactically we got it right in two areas particularly: one was in stopping (Eden) Hazard, Oscar and Willian and (Samuel) Eto'o scoring goals; and the other one was stopping them scoring from set plays. We did a fantastic job."
