Having lost to West Bromwich just seven days earlier Chelsea visited The Hawthorns for a league encounter and, typically, won easily 3-0..
After 20 minutes of uneasy security Albion ran into 30 seconds of disaster. A total miskick by Talbot gave Hutchinson a chance. His shot was blocked but the ball ran to Boyle, who scored off Osborne's legs.
Ten minutes later Houseman scored a superb individual goal.
Chelsea sauntered through the second half, tossing away chances cheerfully before Hutchinson further humiliated Albion. Taking a pass from Tambling he stumbled but recovered his balance and, with three Albion defenders watching, beat Osborne effortlessly.
West Bromwich Albion 0 Chelsea 3
Bonetti, Webb, McCreadie, Hollins, Dempsey, Harris, Boyle, Tambling, Hutchinson, Birchenall, Houseman, sub: Hudson
