Premier League: Chelsea's Dominant Win over West Ham Boosts European Cup Aspirations.

Chelsea bolstered their bid for European football next season with a commanding victory over West Ham at Stamford Bridge.

The breakthrough came swiftly, with Cole Palmer capitalizing on a loose ball in West Ham's penalty area just 15 minutes into the match.

Although West Ham threatened with Jarrod Bowen hitting the crossbar soon after, Chelsea seized control. Conor Gallagher extended their lead after 30 minutes, followed by Noni Madueke adding a third goal just six minutes later.

The second half saw Nicolas Jackson netting twice, cementing Chelsea's dominant performance.

With only three games remaining, Chelsea sits seventh in the table, just two points adrift of sixth-placed Newcastle.

West Ham, meanwhile, languish in ninth with two games left. Despite initial challenges in Mauricio Pochettino's debut season, Chelsea has hit their stride, particularly at home, winning nine of their last 11 Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge.

Notable victories against Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham, and West Ham have fueled their current four-game winning streak, showcasing their growing confidence and quality. Palmer's clinical finish added to his impressive tally, while Gallagher's captain's armband brought authority to his emphatic volley.

By the 36th minute, the game was effectively decided as Madueke capitalized on Thiago Silva's knockdown. Jackson's composed finish further underlined Chelsea's dominance.

Though not severely tested, Chelsea's defense delivered back-to-back clean sheets in the league for the first time since February 2023, a positive sign for Pochettino and his squad.
