Back to the drawing board for frustrated Scolari

LONDON: Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari was left struggling for an explanation after his Premier League title-chasing side dropped more points at their once impregnable Stamford Bridge home.

Sunday's 1-1 London derby stalemate against West Ham was the Blues' fourth home league draw this season and meant they failed to leapfrog Liverpool into 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 equalized for Chelsea six minutes after half-time with his 100th Premier League goal.
