Chelsea delivered a stunning 5-0 win over London rivals West Ham at Stamford Bridge, with Cole Palmer recording new feat.
The Blues dominated the encounter, with Hammers struggling to find their feet, conceding four goals within the first 48 minutes.
Palmer, Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke, and Nicolas Jackson all found the net for Chelsea, with Jackson adding a second goal late in the game to seal the win.
Palmer’s goal marked his 21st in the Premier League this season, matching an impressive record set by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in 2000.
Additionally, Palmer has provided nine assists, totaling 30 goal contributions in his debut season.
Gallagher doubled Chelsea’s advantage with a well-taken volley in the first half, while Madueke extended their lead further before halftime with a header from a corner.
Jackson’s two goals in the second half compounded West Ham’s misery, ensuring a comfortable victory for Chelsea and a difficult day for Hammers’ manager David Moyes
Moyes has never won a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge for the longest time as a manager.
With the stunning win, Chelsea move closer to securing a spot in European competition next season.
