LONDON (Reuters) - Premier League leaders Chelsea turned on the power early on Saturday to beat 10-man West Bromwich Albion 2-0, showing they had learned their lesson from a late scramble to win their last home game.

The Londoners looked determined to bury West Brom as quickly as possible, scoring twice in the first 25 minutes to claim their 10th victory from 12 games and extend their lead to seven points over second-placed Southampton who play on Monday.
