LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea brushed aside London rivals West Ham United with a 2-1 away win that restored their 10-point lead at the top of the Premier League on Monday. West Ham's Manuel Lanzini grabbed a consolation in added time, but the result was never in doubt. Lanzini wasted West Ham's best chance when he fired well over the bar from a central position. Chelsea then went further ahead five minutes into the second half when Hazard's corner skimmed off the head of West Ham's Pedro Obiang and straight to Costa who could not miss. The closing stages were played out before many empty seats as West Ham's fans drifted home while Chelsea's sang "We're going to win the league".
