Chelsea player ratings vs West Ham: Nicolas Jackson utterly clinical as promising Jadon Sancho signs continue | OneFootball

Dominant Blues impress in London derby

Chelsea cruised to a London derby win over West Ham in the Premier League’s early kick-off.

The Blues ran out 3-0 winners at the London Stadium thanks to a first-half brace from Nicolas Jackson before Cole Palmer added a third after the break.

Robert Sanchez 6

Back-to-back clean sheets for the Spaniard. Made a sharp stop to deny Bowen on the angle.

Wesley Fofana 5

Lucky to get away with tug on Summerville that might have led to West Ham penalty. Booked when beaten by the same player. Right-back remains a problem.

Tosin Adarabioyo 6

Brought calm when sent on at Bournemouth last week and was steady from the start here.

Levi Colwill 7

Continues to look the pick of Chelsea’s defence. Made several vital clearances in the six-yard box.

Marc Cucurella 6

Used the ball well inverting into midfield. Booked for a cynical foul on Kudus on the break.

Enzo Fernandez 6

Back from illness and enjoyed a straightforward afternoon in a spacious midfield.

Moises Caicedo 7

Terrific pass for Jackson’s second goal, though surely could not believe the avenue that opened up through the heart of the home defence.

Noni Madueke 6

One nice bit of play finished in a shot just wide. No bad thing that Chelsea were less reliant on his runs down the right.

Cole Palmer 8

Dragged a fine chance wide from Jackson’s pull-back, but took his goal brilliantly to ice the game after half-time. Did not look chuffed to come off, with more goals certainly for the taking.

Jadon Sancho 6

Made his first Chelsea start and quickly made it two assists in as many games. Still getting up to speed but early signs are good.

Nicolas Jackson 9

An utterly clinical display. Took both of his goals brilliantly and then released pass for Palmer’s at the perfect moment.

Substitutes

Axel Disasi (Fofana 57’) 6

Replaced the booked Fofana and did fine.

Pedro Neto (Sancho 57’) 6

Dropped for Sancho, who is more at home on the left. Looked bright enough when coming on but will be desperate for a chance on the right.

Christopher Nkunku (Jackson 64’) 6

Denied by a superb Areola save.

Joao Felix (Palmer 64’) 6

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Fernandez 84’) N/A
