The Premier League is back with fireworks, and Chelsea fans across the world \u2013 including here in Tanzania \u2013 finally have something to smile about. The Blues recorded their first win of the season with a dominant 5-1 victory<\/strong> over London rivals West Ham United. For West Ham, it was another painful evening as they slumped to back-to-back defeats, equalling an unwanted Premier League record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Nightmare Start for Chelsea Turned Into Glory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea were dealt an early blow when Cole Palmer pulled out injured<\/strong> during warm-up, raising fears that Enzo Maresca\u2019s men could struggle. Those fears intensified as early as the sixth minute when Lucas Paquet\u00e1 unleashed a thunderbolt<\/strong> to give West Ham the lead. But Chelsea\u2019s response was emphatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marc Cucurella\u2019s flick from a Pedro Neto corner found Jo\u00e3o Pedro<\/strong>, who nodded home to level things up. From there, it was one-way traffic. Neto himself added Chelsea\u2019s second with a superb volley before Est\u00eav\u00e3o \u2013 Palmer\u2019s teenage replacement \u2013 provided an assist for Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>, making history as the youngest Chelsea player ever to provide a Premier League assist at 18 years and 120 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blues Run Riot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea\u2019s attacking wave kept punishing West Ham\u2019s fragile defence. Mois\u00e9s Caicedo capitalised on a goalkeeping blunder<\/strong> to make it 4-1 before Trevoh Chalobah netted the fifth<\/strong> after another defensive lapse from the Hammers. By then, large sections of the home support had already left the stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Ham showed a flicker of fight when substitute Kyle Walker-Peters caused some chaos in the box<\/strong>, but Chelsea\u2019s backline held firm. The visitors could have scored a sixth when Reece James found Est\u00eav\u00e3o<\/strong>, but Hermansen managed to deny the youngster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potter\u2019s Nightmare Continues, Chelsea Rise Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was another miserable outing for Graham Potter<\/strong>, who has still never beaten Chelsea in eight attempts (D4, L4). The Hammers\u2019 manager also set an unwanted club record, earning just nine points in his first 10 home league matches<\/strong>, fewer than Alan Curbishley and Avram Grant managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea, on the other hand, celebrated their 33rd Premier League victory over West Ham<\/strong>, a tally they have only bettered against Tottenham Hotspur (37). The win also briefly lifted them to the top of the table<\/strong>, a huge confidence boost for Maresca\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea\u2019s emphatic 5-1 win over West Ham was more than just three points \u2013 it was a statement.
