Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson shone brightly in Chelsea’s commanding 3-0 victory over West Ham, earning him the title of the best player on the pitch.

He scored twice and assisted Cole Palmer’s goal, helping the Blues climb to second place in the Premier League standings.

Chelsea took control of the match from the outset, with Nicolas Jackson scoring just four minutes in after a quick free-kick caught West Ham’s defense off guard.

He added a second goal before halftime, skillfully converting a through ball from Moisés Caicedo. Meanwhile, VAR denied West Ham a penalty after a foul on Crysencio Summerville.

VAR ruled out another West Ham goal, this time from Mohammed Kudus due to offside, adding to the hosts’ frustrations.

Chelsea maintained their momentum in the second half, with Nicolas Jackson setting up Cole Palmer, who finished confidently off the post to make it 3-0.

This victory elevates Chelsea to second place in the Premier League, surpassing Arsenal, who are set to face league leaders Manchester City this week.

Meanwhile, West Ham is experiencing their worst start to a season, losing three of their first five matches for the first time in Premier League history.
