Chelsea continued their dominant run in London derbies with a resounding 5-0 victory over West Ham at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues, fresh off a win against Tottenham, wasted no time imposing their dominance.

Cole Palmer opened the scoring early on with a clinical finish, showing his goal-scoring prowess with his 21st Premier League goal of the season.

Captain Conor Gallagher then doubled the lead with a well-taken volley into the bottom corner, leaving West Ham with an uphill task.

Thiago Silva, returning from injury, helped Chelsea extend their lead before halftime.

His header from a corner found Noni Madueke, who made no mistake in converting the opportunity. The first half ended with Chelsea comfortably ahead by three goals.

The second half saw Chelsea pick up right where they left off. Madueke turned provider this time, setting up Nicolas Jackson for an easy tap-in just three minutes into the half.

The match slowed down considerably afterward, with Chelsea in control and West Ham struggling to create meaningful chances.

West Ham's Jarrod Bowen was their brightest spark, hitting the woodwork multiple times and eventually scoring a consolation goal, albeit through a deflected effort.

However, it was far from enough to dampen Chelsea's dominance.

Jackson sealed the win and completed his brace late in the game, putting the result beyond doubt.

Chelsea's Star, Cole Palmer was named the man of the match after his influential performance against West Ham United.

The England international completed 89 minutes, created 4 goal scoring chances, had 4 shots at the opposition goal and also scored to move his tally for the season to 21 goals.
