Premier League: Chelsea 2 West Brom 2

Referee Andre Marriner awarded the controversial spot-kick in the fourth minute of stoppage time for a challenge by Steven Reid on Ramires. Hazard converted for his fourth goal of the season on his return to the side after he was dropped for the midweek UEFA Champions League win over Schalke for missing a training session earlier in the week.

Stephane Sessegnon thought he had won the game for the visitors with his 68th-minute strike, but the three points were snatched away from them by the late equaliser.

Sessegnon's strike followed Shane Long's leveller as former Chelsea player and assistant manager Steve Clarke looked set to end Mourinho's unbeaten run at home in the Premier League, which has now been extended to 66 games. 

Samuel Eto'o opened the scoring for Chelsea on the stroke of half-time as he robbed Liam Ridgewell at the back post. Long hauled the sides level just after the hour as the striker netted his first goal of the season from close range.

Mourinho – taking charge of his 100th home game in all competitions as Chelsea manager - recalled Hazard. Frank Lampard was the only other change from Wednesday's victory, the England international replacing John Obi Mikel.

Chelsea began the stronger of the two sides and created good openings for Eto'o, but the striker was unable to convert any of the four chances he had.

In the last minute of the first half, Eto'o finally found the net.
