Chelsea remain at the top of the Premier League with a comfortable 2-0 win over west ham
John Terry and Diego Costa grabbed the goals in an impressive display as the fourth-placed visitors were brushed aside at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's maddening lack of creativity the last time West Ham visited Stamford Bridge led Jose Mourinho to petulantly claim that Sam Allardyce had held his team to a goalless draw playing "19th century football". It was hard to tell what plan the resurgent Hammers were attempting to follow this time but, in all honesty, it didn't really matter.
There were too many threats for West Ham to try and nullify and in the end it was captain John Terry, with his second goal in as many matches, who broke the deadlock.
The only lingering worry was that Chelsea might not get the second goal to secure a victory they unarguably deserved, but Costa put those fears to rest on 62 minutes and the Blues cruised to the finish line.
That did not materialise in the opening period as Mourinho's men dominated, entering the break 1-0 ahead as Terry scored in back-to-back matches for the first time in a decade.
