Chicharito was the game changer for West Ham on Sunday in the London derby against Chelsea as he came off the bench to rescue a point for the Hammers in their 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.
Cesar Azpilicueta had given Chelsea a deserved lead, but a second-half strike from Javier Hernandez salvaged a point for the Hammers, who now sit six points clear of the relegation zone.
Chelsea could have taken the lead in West London as early as the fifth minute when Eden Hazard was given room to advance towards the edge of the penalty area, but the Belgian's low strike hit the outside of the post and went wide.
West Ham rallied to put their hosts under pressure but no chances came their way, and it soon became a case of when Chelsea would be able to open the scoring.
Alvaro Morata flicked wide of the far post from a Hazard cross while Willian curled just off target from distance before being denied by a sensational block by Joe Hart.
However, from the resulting corner, West Ham failed to deal with two high balls and Cesar Azpilicueta was perfectly placed to prod into the bottom corner from close range.
Chicharito needed less than three minutes to make an impact. Gary Cahill failed to deal with the ball inside the penalty area and after Arnautovic crossed for Hernandez, the substitute swept the ball into the bottom corner from by the penalty spot.
West Ham opted to remain on the offensive but it was Chelsea who continued to create the better opportunities, with Marcos Alonso forcing Hart to tip the ball over the crossbar from long range.
Just before the 90-minute mark, Olivier Giroud rose above the West Ham
defence to direct a header towards the far bottom corner but Hart - who had been excellent all match - got across to tip the ball onto the post.
