Moments later, he set up Gonzalo Higuain with a good chance, but the former Real Madrid striker hit the post with his effort.
The Hammers had a couple of decent chances in the second half, but their efforts were inches wide from the goal.
The game was wrapped up by Hazard with a late second goal. Ross Barkley played a brilliant ball over the top for the former to score from a difficult angle.
