Chelsea continued their fine form as they secured a comprehensive 5-0 win over London rivals, West Ham United at Stamford Bridge, according to Skysports.

Mauricio Pochettino's side started on a good note with Cole Palmer latching onto a loose ball to put the Blues one nil up, which took his goals up to 21 league goals for the season, with Erling Haaland with 4 more than the English international.

The Blues extended the London based outfit after Kurt Zouma's deflection fell to Conor Gallagher who strikes a fierce volley to make it 2-0 in favour of the hosts, despite their dominance, the hosts didn't relent as they kept on pushing which led to Noni Madueke heading in the third off an assist from Brazil international, Thiago Silva.

Chelsea continued from where they left off in the first half with Nicolas Jackson adding the fourth after he was unselfishly put through on goal from Noni Madueke.

The Senegalese attacker made it five to seal the win for the home side.

This result will see Chelsea leapfrog Manchester United into seventh ahead of Erik Ten Hag's men match against Crystal Palace on Monday.
