With a resounding 3-0 victory at West Ham, Chelsea has 10 points after 5 matches and temporarily rose to 2nd place on the rankings, 2 points behind the top position of Man City.
From the very first minutes, Jackson showed his sharpness in the game. In the 4th minute, he broke free to receive a pass from Jadon Sancho and finished neatly into the far corner, opening the score for The Blues. Just 14 minutes later, the former Villarreal striker continued to double the gap with a delicate move, eliminating the West Ham defense before finishing close to the goal.
After less than 20 minutes, Chelsea led the home team 2-0. Jackson himself has 4 goals in the Premier League season 2024/25. The 23-year-old Senegalese striker is surprising everyone with his high performance.
In this match, Chelsea did not dominate West Ham, but the quality of their shots was superior. The impressive blocking ability of goalkeeper Robert Sanchez also contributed greatly to helping “The Blues” keep a clean sheet in the first 45 minutes.
In the second half, the scenario of the first half repeated itself when Chelsea scored a very early goal. Jackson continued to make his mark when he assisted Cole Palmer to score in the 47th minute.
Chelsea’s biggest minus point is Noni Madueke’s position. The number 11 winger was favored by coach Enzo Maresca to play the entire 90 minutes, but could not score or assist despite having many opportunities.
The lack of luck from both sides in the final stages of the match prevented any further goals. Chelsea won 3-0 on aggregate, thereby accumulating 10 points after 5 matches. “The Blues” temporarily rose to 2nd place, while West Ham remained in 14th place and were at risk of being overtaken by the teams below.
