Chelsea moved joint second in the premier league with Liverpool after a convincing win against struggling West Ham side.
Jose Mourinho tried a different and more attacking formation against the Hammers and it worked well as Chelsea’s quality attack troubled the home team all game.
With Mikel holding things together in midfield, Lampard and Ramires had the chance to bombard on West Ham’s defense.
Moreover, Hazard and Oscar were constantly tormenting the home side from the wings as well as the center shifting positions with Samuel Eto’o ahead.
The Cameroon star came close on few occasions but could not score again for the Blues. In the end goals from Oscar and Lampard earned all three points for Chelsea.
Mourinho utilized his substitutes very late in the match, till then the game was already over.
Blues needed the lift after disappointing results in the last two league games against West Brom and Newcastle United and they bounced back in style.

Despite scoring two goals, Lampard did not do much. I don’t personally understand how Lampard came to overthrow Mata in that Midfield contest. He says Lampard has nothing to prove but to enjoy football at his old age. Why then sacrificing the little kid { Mata } for Mzee who has nothing to prove. This is discrimination. Go on with your inferior antics but finally u’ll go.
Lampard is slow and inaccurate in passing balls though is a star player of the past and is part of the 15 years chelsea achievements. In my opinion he doesn’t have to be given much play time. Neither of the two goals he scored shows that he is an intelligent footballer. Give more time Mata than Lampard
I like the way Oscar play every game, this guy he is very technical not only for his Chelsea team but also for his Nationaj team. MATA is good but Oscar is the best.
I am really angry @ Mourhino discrimination, first he wanted to push Mikel out of the team for Lampard, that has not worked since Lampard could not cope, Now it is Mata and Willian dat would be on the bench now for Lampard, just to what, Essien came in yesterday and his 10 mins of play has bettered all the total mins Lampard has ever played, and well all are Happy since Mikel or Essien does not have to keep their own world cup places alive, they do not matter
