Craig Bellamy's superb goal secured West Ham United a hard-fought Premier League point at Chelsea on this day in 2008.

Bellamy collected Mark Noble's cross on his chest before skillfully guiding his shot between Petr Cech and the near post to give Gianfranco Zola's side a 33rd-minute lead at Stamford Bridge.

Nicolas Anelka would level soon after half-time, but former Chelsea favourite Zola saw his team dig in and earn a draw against Luis Felipe Scolari's Blues, denying them the chance to go top of the table.

The Irons' finished the season in ninth place.
