Highlights: West Ham 1-2 Chelsea

Watch the highlights as Chelsea beat West Ham 2-1 at the London Stadium to move 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Eden Hazard and Diego Costa were on target as clinical Chelsea swatted aside West Ham to strengthen their position at the top of the table.

Two of Chelsea's three Premier League defeats this season were away London derbies - to Arsenal and Tottenham - and West Ham beat the Blues in the EFL Cup in a match marred by crowd trouble at the London Stadium.

Those scenes - of violence and a Chelsea defeat - were not repeated here, although one fan hurdled the advertising hoardings to remonstrate with celebrating Chelsea players after Hazard's goal before he was wrestled away.

Chelsea had their second five minutes after the resumption. A Cesc Fabregas corner evaded West Ham's near-post defenders and the ball bounced in off Costa's thigh

The leaders faced an anxious conclusion as Lanzini struck after substitute Andre Ayew ran at David Luiz - but West Ham ran out of time to find an equaliser.

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte may be taking nothing for granted in the title race, but his side are showing little sign of slipping up with Tottenham are the Blues' nearest rivals with 11 games to go, but third-placed Manchester City could move eight points behind by winning their game in-hand.
