Chelsea’s 3-0 win over West Ham United today was a testament to the strength and effectiveness of the team’s play under manager Enzo Maresca. Nicolas Jackson stole the show with two quickfire goals in the first half, showing his clinical edge in front of goal. A third from Cole Palmer early in the second half sealed the win for Chelsea.

Key to the win was quick attack and solid defensive organisation. West Ham looked confused, especially after the first goal came just four minutes after kick-off. Although West Ham put pressure on, they failed to capitalise on their chances, including a controversial decision by the referee not to award them a penalty.

Chelsea are now second in the table, which is a strong start to the season, while West Ham must improve on their form after this defeat.
