The Chelsea doesn’t stop anymore. Five games, 10 points and 3 away wins for the Blues by Enzo Maresca, who in the Premier League up to this point of the season have only been stopped by Manchester City. But the London team in today’s fifth round, against West Ham, once again demonstrated authority and superiority, in the game and in the result, thanks also and above all to the amazing performance of Nicholas Jackson.
Scoring after just 4 minutes, he needed another 14 to score his second and lead Chelsea to victory, which was then sealed by Cole Palmer’s hat-trick. Awarded as man of the match of the matchthe 23-year-old Senegalese striker has started the new season very well: 3 goals and 1 assist in 5 games in the English championship. The star of the match himself intervened in the post-match to comment on the final 3-0.
“I have grown the most with my teammates, they help me a lot and have faith in me. Let’s keep moving forward. This game is over and next week we will face another one. The most important thing is that the team wins.” Always guaranteed a starting spot and those, like Joao Felix for example, are forced to remain on the bench: “I’m happy to always play. Fighting for the team and making the team win is the most important thing,” he said to TNT Sports from the pitch at the Olympic Stadium.
