'Pleased' Pochettino urges Chelsea to 'keep momentum'
Chelsea thrashed West Ham 5-0 to keep alive their hopes of European qualification on Sunday. Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke punished wretched West Ham defending before Nicolas Jackson struck twice to leave Moyes' situation looking increasingly uncertain.
Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is also waiting to discover if he will remain in charge next season after a troubled debut campaign.
The Argentine, whose side are seventh and in contention for European qualification, bolstered his chances of avoiding the sack by masterminding a rout that made it 22 goals scored by Chelsea in their last six home matches.
"I'm so pleased," he said. "It continues the same feelings after Thursday (the 2-0 win over Tottenham). It keeps the momentum. I think the performance was fantastic in all aspects.
"A few weeks ago I said I was so happy because we were so close to being in this position. That is the first step. The team is growing up very fast now. That is the minimum standard if we want to compete in this league.
"The objective for us is to be mature and to keep the momentum. Of course we are going to try to be in Europe. It will be good for the team and for the players to be in Europe next season."
