Chelsea claimed another big win at Stamford Bridge as they beat West Ham United 5-0 to further boost their European hopes.
In the hosts’ second London derby of the week, Cole Palmer was joined on the scoresheet by Noni Maduake, Conor Gallagher and Nicolas Jackson, who was at the double.
Palmer’s 15th-minute opener, Gallagher’s volley and Madueke’s header put Chelsea in complete control by the interval, with Jackson’s second-half brace providing the icing on the cake.
The victory lifts Chelsea up to seventh, above Manchester United who face Crystal Palace on Monday, while out-of-form West Ham remain in ninth, with their chances of European qualification fading.
