EPL: Jackson grabs brace in Chelsea triumph over West Ham

Chelsea thrashed West Ham in Saturday’s early kick-off to go second in the Premier League.

The Blues were looking to win their third consecutive away fixture – a new club record – at the London Stadium.

And within 18 minutes, Nicolas Jackson scored a brace to send Enzo Maresca’s men on their way.

West Ham were however denied what looked like a stonewall penalty before half time, after Wesley Fofana pulled at Crysencio Summerville inside the box.

Cole Palmer added a third goal on the break as Chelsea took their points tally to 10 in their first five games.
