[VIDEO] Moses On Fire As Hazard, Costa Hand Chelsea Win Against West Ham | Highlights
Chelsea continued their relentless march towards the Premier League title with a controlled 2-1 win over West Ham at London Stadium.
A much-changed Blues XI were knocked out of the EFL Cup at the same ground in October but Antonio Conte’s men were all business this time around.

They absorbed early pressure without coughing up chances and Eden Hazard displayed the devastating, clinical edge West Ham lacked as he scythed through them for a counter-attacking opener.
Conte’s side carried menace on the break throughout, although their second came courtesy of poor set-piece defending from Slaven Bilic’s side, with Diego Costa needing no second invitation to collect his 18th goal of the season after 50 minutes.

Manuel Lanzini grabbed a late consolation for the Hammers, who remain just outside the top-10, as he rifled home his sixth league goal of the season.
But Chelsea were not to be denied and sit 10 points clear of Tottenham at the summit, although their lead will be cut to eight if Manchester City win their game in hand at home to Stoke City on Wednesday.
