Chelsea: Palmer (15′), Gallagher (30′), Madueke (36′), Jackson (48′, 82′)

Playing at home, Chelsea did not hesitate to press forward to attack and they soon scored the opening goal in the 15th minute. From a messy ball in front of West Ham’s goal, Palmer quickly scored a quick shot to give The Blues the lead.

Having scored the opening goal early, Chelsea played with excitement and their attacks were elegant and extremely effective. And then what had to happen happened. In the 30th minute, it was captain Gallagher’s turn to finish quickly in the penalty area after a messy situation, giving Chelsea a 2-0 lead.

Just 6 minutes later, Chelsea had their third goal. From Mudryk’s left-wing corner kick, Thiago Silva headed the ball for Madueke to head into West Ham’s net.

Jackson and Madueke both scored in the Chelsea vs West Ham match.

The away team actually still had quite dangerous opportunities, but unfortunately they were unlucky in this match. In particular, Jarrod Bowen hit the crossbar 3 times, while James Ward-Prowse also had 2 extremely dangerous free kicks but were unsuccessful.

While West Ham was in trouble, Chelsea scored easily. In the 48th minute, Chalobah made a long pass for Madueke to use his speed to escape before passing across to Jackson to tap the ball into the empty net to increase the score to 4-0.

In the 82nd minute, Caicedo poked Jackson through to face Areola. He calmly beat the West Ham goalkeeper to increase the score to 5-0. The referee spent nearly 2 minutes waiting for VAR technology to check whether Jackson was offside or not. And finally, he recognized the home team’s goal.

5-0 is also the final score of this match. The strong victory over their rival in the same city of London helped Chelsea temporarily take 7th place and push MU to 8th. However, the Red Devils are playing exactly 1 match less than both Chelsea and Newcastle (6th).
