Chelsea surged to seventh in the Premier League with a commanding 5-0 win over West Ham at Stamford Bridge. Goals from Palmer, Gallagher, Madueke, and Jackson secured the victory, putting Chelsea within two points of sixth-placed Newcastle. West Ham's defensive woes persist, and with manager David Moyes set to depart, they face a challenging end to the season.

Chelsea moved up to seventh place in the Premier League table after a commanding 5-0 victory over West Ham United at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues dominated the match with goals from Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke, and Nicolas Jackson.

Under Mauricio Pochettino's management, Chelsea surpassed Manchester United to claim seventh spot, trailing sixth-placed Newcastle United by just two points with three games left.

This win marks Chelsea's second consecutive league victory following their recent success against Tottenham Hotspur. They have lost only one of their last 11 Premier League matches.

Although a European finish seemed unlikely earlier in the season, Chelsea's strong finish includes upcoming matches against Nottingham Forest, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Bournemouth.

Cole Palmer opened the scoring in the 14th minute with his 21st Premier League goal of the season. Gallagher, Madueke, and Jackson added to the lead, highlighting Chelsea's dominant performance.

West Ham struggled defensively, conceding 10 goals in their last two away league matches. With David Moyes expected to depart this summer, West Ham's remaining fixtures could be against Luton Town and Manchester City.

Chelsea's impressive form towards the end of the season underlines their push for a higher league position. Meanwhile, West Ham, currently ninth, risks falling into the bottom half of the table if they do not improve in their remaining matches.
