But if Chelsea were hesitant in defense, what they left no doubt about is their power from set pieces.
Especially in corner kicks, the formula that has already allowed them to add eight goals this season to those of Lampard.

Chelsea did little else, which with the passing of the minutes was increasingly cornered by West Ham, which despite its drive lacked something fundamental to be able to equalize, to finish off, as witnessed by the fact that those of David Moyes closed the match without achieving a single shot between the three sticks.
A lack of punch, which contrasted with that of Chelsea, which definitively sentenced the contest with two claws from Tammy Abraham, who secured three points for those of Lampard with two almost consecutive goals in minutes 78 and 82.
Excessive prize for a gray Chelsea, who with this victory (3-0) not only found himself with the victory, after falling in the last two days against Wolverhampton (2-1) and Everton (1-0), but also He also returned to the European squares, after snatching fifth position from Tottenham.
