That allowed him to get his sights in as with his next chance he fired in off the post to make the score 3-0.Jadon Sancho – 7Looked lively once again with another assist and some clever touches in the opposition box which helped him set up a few shooting chances for team-mates.Nicolas Jackson – 10A clinical display from the Blues frontman with two well-taken goals early on to put his side in the ascendency.Was superb again for Chelsea’s third as he orchestrated a counter-attack before slipping in Palmer to score.SubsPedro Neto (for Sancho, 57 mins) – 6Some nice touches to create chances, which helped keep the Blues on top.Axel Disasi (for Fofana, 57 mins) – 7Shored up the Chelsea right-hand side and West Ham lost a lot of impetus once he came on.Christopher Nkunku (for Jackson, 64mins) – 6Should have scored with a header but in fairness Areola produced a brilliant stop to keep it out.READ MORE SUN STORIESJoao Felix (for Palmer, 64 mins) – 6Had one effort on goal that hit the side netting but was otherwise not involved enough.Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (for Fernandez, 84 mins) – 6Kept the ball but came on with the game fading as West Ham had given up.
