Chelsea 3-0 West Ham (21 September 2024) Match Analysis

Nicolas Jackson scored twice to help Chelsea secure a second consecutive away win with a 3-0 victory at London rivals West Ham United on Saturday, suggesting new manager Enzo Maresca is bringing his huge squad together well.

Jackson took advantage of the weak defence and scored in the fourth minute, sprinting down the wing, cutting inside unhindered and firing under Alphonse Areola. Fourteen minutes later, the Senegalese striker found space between West Ham's defenders, received a pass from Moises Caicedo and doubled Chelsea's lead.

West Ham were 3-0 down just over a minute into the second half when Jackson set up Cole Palmer on the counterattack and the English striker fired the ball home from the edge of the box.

Chelsea, who won 1-0 at Bournemouth last Saturday, moved up to second place in the Premier League table ahead of the weekend's remaining games, while West Ham are 14th under new manager Julen Lopetegui.
