Sudan Events – Agencies
Nicolas Jackson scored twice to help Chelsea secure their second consecutive away win, beating London rivals West Ham United 3-0 on Saturday. This indicates that new coach Enzo Maresca has integrated the team well.
Jackson capitalized on a defensive error to score in the 4th minute, bursting down the wing and firing a powerful shot past West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.
About 14 minutes later, the Senegalese striker found space between West Ham defenders, receiving a pass from Moisés Caicedo to double Chelsea’s lead.
Just one minute into the second half, Jackson passed to Cole Palmer on a counterattack, with the England forward finishing from the edge of the box.
Chelsea, who defeated Bournemouth 1-0 last Saturday, climbed to second place in the Premier League standings ahead of the rest of the weekend’s matches.
West Ham, under new manager Julen Lopetegui, are currently in 14th place.
