Chelsea comfortably defeated West Ham 3-0 in a one-sided London derby at the London Stadium on Saturday. The Blues, despite significant off-field turmoil, have found their stride under new manager Enzo Maresca, showcasing a controlled and efficient performance.
West Ham, still struggling to find their footing under Julen Lopetegui, were outplayed from the outset. The Hammers looked disjointed and dispirited, failing to mount any real threat to the Chelsea goal.
Chelsea’s dominance was evident throughout the match. The Blues’ swift counter-attacks proved deadly, with Cole Palmer’s brilliant finish sealing the victory in the second half. By the final whistle, West Ham fans were leaving the stadium in droves, their disappointment palpable.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will be buoyed by their convincing win, further solidifying their position as contenders in the Premier League.
