Jackson on fire, Sancho shines, Palmer transformation - Chelsea player ratings vs West Ham
Chelsea have won their third successive Premier League away game with a convincing 3-0 win over West Ham United at the London Stadium.
Enzo Maresca made three changes to the side that won at Bournemouth last weekend. Tosin Adarabioyo, Enzo Fernandez and Jadon Sancho all came in for Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga and Pedro Neto.
Chelsea made the perfect start. With just four minutes on the clock, Nicolas Jackson slid the ball under Alphonse Areola to hand the Blues an early lead and silence the majority inside the London Stadium.
It was soon 2-0 to the visitors with Jackson doubling his and Chelsea's tally. A fine pass from Moises Caicedo led to the Senegal international placing the ball past Areola.
The second-half started perfectly for the Blues. Cole Palmer finished in off the post after being fed through by Jackson to wrap up a brilliant counter-attack from the visitors.
Below, Bobby Vincent shares his Chelsea player ratings...
Robert Sanchez - Fairly quiet afternoon for him all in all. Back-to-back clean sheets. 6.
Wesley Fofana - Struggled against Crysencio Summerville. It's not his natural position and you could tell. 5.

Tosin Adarabioyo - Really good. Came into the side for his first Premier League start for the club and slotted in seamlessly. 7.
Levi Colwill - Continues his wonderful form this season. Didn't allow Jarrod Bowen many sniffs at all. 6.
Marc Cucurella - Inverting into midfield in possession. Did well. Looks very accomplished in there. 6.
Moises Caicedo - An inch-perfect through ball to set up Jackson's second goal of the game. He is so good at those through balls. Just an overall brilliant game from Caicedo. 7.5.
Enzo Fernandez - A lot better from Fernandez. Linked up well with Caicedo - as you could see for Jackson's second goal. 6.
Noni Madueke - A bit quiet for his standards. A couple of sniffs for the winger but he was not able to get too involved. It all seemed to happen on the opposite flank. 6.
Cole Palmer - Quiet in the first-half but came to life in the second. Palmer ran the length of the pitch to get up and support Jackson on a counter-attack. The striker found Palmer, who inevitably finished the move perfectly. 7.5.
Jadon Sancho - A neat one-two to set up Jackson's goal early in the game. Some brilliant footwork on show from Sancho, who is one of the most entertaining footballers on the planet. A superb start to life at Chelsea for the 24-year-old. 7.
Nicolas Jackson - A sublime finish from Chelsea's No.15. I don't think he could believe how much space he had on the left-hand side. He was allowed to run through at will.
Jackson doubled his and Chelsea's tally just over 10 minutes later. A beautiful finish with the outside of his right foot. Four goals in five Premier League games this season. 9.
Substitutes
Axel Disasi - On just before the hour-mark. Did well. 6.
Pedro Neto - Came on with Disasi. Could not make too much of an impact unfortunately. 6.
Joao Felix - Came close to scoring moments after coming on. 6.
Christopher Nkunku - Looked a threat. 6.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Came on in the final 10 minutes. N/A.
