As Chelsea battled to claim an important 3-0 victory over their east London rivals West Ham at Stamford Bridge, it was a tough and dogged performance from the Blues team.
Thiago Silva scored the first 10-minute bullet-header goal of the day, and it was Tammy Abraham, silent throughout, who would become the hero, wrapping up the points in the
second half in a three-minute flurry.
Chelsea leapfrog Tottenham sees the two-goal double salvo from Frank Lampard’s No.9 and moves up to fifth in the Premier League table.
