Chelsea lead after just a couple of minutes at the London Stadium!
Nicolas Jackson was released down the left where he had found space in behind the West Ham defence, and the striker made no mistake from a tight angle, slipping the ball between the legs of Alphonse Areola.
Jackson looks like he’s really been fired up by the emergence of Christopher Nkunku as his rival up front. He looks like a man on a mission, and could grab a couple more today.
