Chelsea defeated West Ham United 3-0 at the London Stadium with Nicolas Jackson scoring twice and Cole Palmer adding a third. Jackson opened the scoring after four minutes following a quick one-two with Jadon Sancho, then scored again from a Moises Caicedo through ball with an outside-of-the-boot finish. Sancho started and created chances while Enzo Maresca made three changes, including recalls for Enzo Fernandez and Tosin Adarabioyo. West Ham had chances ruled out, including a disallowed goal for Mohammed Kudus and a penalty appeal for Crysencio Summerville turned down, but failed to respond effectively.
FROM THE LONDON STADIUM - Two goals from Nicolas Jackson helped Chelsea ease past London rivals West Ham United 3-0 in Saturday's early kick-off. The Blues assumed control of proceedings at London Stadium after just four minutes as Jackson combined with Jadon Sancho to punish dozy defending from the home side. The 23-year-old doubled his tally soon after, latching on to Moises Caicedo's slide-rule pass before arcing a wonderful outside-of-the-boot finish past Alphonse Areola.
Chelsea were in seventh heaven when Cole Palmer slammed home a third just after the interval, capping a fantastic away performance for Enzo Maresca's side. Maresca made three changes to the Chelsea side that beat Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, handing Sancho a first start alongside recalls for Enzo Fernandez and Tosin Adarabioyo. And it didn't take long for the former Manchester United winger to make an impact as West Ham fell behind for the fourth time in five games under Julen Lopetegui.
