Chelsea's 100% start to the new season continued against rock-bottom
West Ham at Upton Park as a brace from Michael Essien and another
from Salomon Kalou kept them top of the Premier League.
• Ancelotti delighted at Essien return
• Blog: Vague signs of improvement
West Ham midfielder Scott Parker became the first player to score
against the Blues this season but his late effort was scant consolation
for the home side.
Chelsea's victory over their London rivals piled more pressure
on under-fire manager Avram Grant, whose side remained rooted to
the foot of the table without a single point from their opening
four games and having conceded 12 goals.
In contrast, Carlo Ancelotti's team have now scored 17 and conceded
just once, and their domination of this game began as early as the
second minute when debutant Ramires won a corner on the left flank.
