Chelsea has defeated West Ham United 3-0 on Saturday at Upton Park to move up to third place in the Premier League table.

Chelsea's all-time leading goal-scorer Frank Lampard added two more goals to his tally in the game, one of which was a penalty, thereby leading his side to level on points with second-placed Liverpool after this victory.

According to Sport24, Lampard's two goals came either side of an Oscar strike, with only goal difference currently keeping West Ham out of the bottom three, making apparent the gulf in class between the two London clubs.

Lampard made it 3-0 in the 82nd minute with a low, first-time effort after Eden Hazard's initial shot had bounced off a defender, the report added.
