A flowing counter-attack was expertly finished by Eden Hazard on 25 minutes at the London Stadium and the visitors doubled the score when Diego Costa capitalised on poor West Ham defending to turn home Cesc Fabregas’ corner.
A stoppage-time strike by Manuel Lanzini reduced the deficit but it came too late for the Hammers to stage a comeback as Chelsea held on to extend their lead atop the table.
After the match, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte expressed satisfaction with the result.
On his part, West ham manager Slaven Bilic was not happy that his team made a lot of mistakes against the league-leaders.
