West Ham captain Declan Rice revealed West Ham targeted two Chelsea players in the 1-1 draw between both sides on Saturday.

Rice told Stadium Astro: “With the team they put out they started really sharply, really quickly. They had some really, really good players on show.

“It took us a little while to get going and adapt to their system. But once we found out their weakness, getting the ball down the sides of them and realised their wingers weren’t really tracking back.

“We managed to get the goal from that and exploit that. The last 20 minutes was there for us and we could have nicked it.”
