Nicolas Jackson bagged a brace after the break in what was a huge win for Chelsea as they look to qualify for Europe. His goal against West Ham was his 21st in the Premier League and combined with nine assists he has now become only the second player to record 30 goal contributions in their debut season for Chelsea. Moreover, the 21-year-old has also matched the heroics of Chelsea’s two greatest ever goalscorers of the modern era – Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.
