After losing 1-0 to Manchester City earlier in the week, the hosts responded in fashion with a comfortable and largely controlled display in front of their fans.
It took just seven minutes for Manuel Pellegrini’s side to take the lead, with Declan Rice finding the back of the net for his second goal of the season.
Mark Noble doubled the lead from the penalty spot three minutes before the break.
After the restart West Ham continued to dominate proceedings as the visitors struggled to make their presence felt, aside from a late free-kick which struck the woodwork. The result sees the Londoners move up to ninth in the table on 39 points.
