BREAKING: Nicolas Jackson Shines As Chelsea Secure Comfortable Win Against West Ham United—Brace from Senegalese International Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer secured another away win for Chelsea as they put more pressure on Julen Lopetegui.

The Spaniard looked furious as his expensively-assembled side crashed to a humiliating 3-0 defeat at home to their London rivals.

It means all Lopetegui has to show for a £120m outlay on nine summer signings since replacing David Moyes is three home defeats, a scrappy win at Crystal Palace and a last-gasp draw with Fulham.

Just five matches in and the London Stadium crowd – many of whom wanted Moyes out despite the Scot overseeing the club’s most successful period in decades – turned on the new manager midway through the second half.

Jackson scored twice, the first within three minutes of kick-off, and Palmer added a third just moments into the second half.

Moyes may well have been counting his blessings that he left when he did as he watched his old side unravel from the comfort of the beIN Sports studio.

All looks rosier in the Chelsea garden, by contrast, as Enzo Maresca’s side secured a third straight away win and climbed, for a few hours at least, to second in the table

The tone of a chastening afternoon for West Ham was set with Chelsea‘s first attack as a harmless looking free-kick found Jackson down the left.

The Senegal frontman cut inside far too easily and stroked the ball through the legs of Hammers keeper Alphonse Areola at his near post.

Just 15 minutes later Jackson had his second, his fourth of the season and a fourth in three appearances against West Ham.

Moises Caicedo played the ball forward and Jackson strolled through the chasm left by Hammers centre-backs Max Kilman and Konstantinos Mavropanos before slotting it past Areola.

West Ham had been dreadful, although they did briefly threaten to halve the deficit with Jarrod Bowen lifting a good chance over the crossbar.

A VAR penalty check, after Summerville went down in the area after being pulled back by Wesley Fofana, went Chelsea‘s way – ‘not sustained holding’ was the official explanation – before Mohammed Kudus had the ball in the net only to be flagged offside.

Whatever words of wisdom Lopetegui said at the break evidently had zero effect, as 70 seconds into the second half Chelsea had a third.

Jackson ran at West Ham‘s hastily back-pedalling defence and slipped the ball to Palmer, who simply stepped away from Kilman and drove in his second goal of the campaign.

Areola prevented further embarrassment with a flying save to keep out a Christopher Nkunku header, but the damage had long since been done and the boos ringing out at full-time told a sorry tale for the hosts.

BREAKING: Bruno Fernandes Sent Off As Manchester United Held Porto In a 6-Goal Thriller

BREAKING: Bruno Fernandes Sent Off As Manchester United Held Porto In a 6-Goal Thriller—-Bruno Fernandes the talking point again in the UEFA Europa League as he’s sent off for Manchester United after been previously sent off in the Premier League last weekend against Tottenham where they were thrashed at Old Trafford by the London Club.

Bruno had his red card appealed and is available to feature for Man United next games but again received another red card for a brutal high foot foul against Porto defender as he was booked for second time in the game to get sent off.

Manchester United were 2 goals up early this night through Marcus Rashford 7th minute opener and Ramus Hojlund scores his first goal of the season after returning from injury but Porto fights back to earn a first half draw and goes ahead in the 50th minute through Samu Omorodion.

Harry Maguire rescued a dramatic draw for 10-man Manchester United after they had surrendered a two-goal lead – and had Bruno Fernandes sent off – at Porto in the Europa League.

The injury-time effort could prove priceless for under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag, whose side were moments away from their fourth loss in 10 games to start the season.

Instead, substitute Maguire rose highest to meet Christian Eriksen’s corner and headed superbly into the bottom corner in the first of five added minutes.

It was a thrilling conclusion to a chaotic encounter at Estadio do Dragao.

Porto could have added to their lead with the away side, even down to 10 men, forced to throw players forward, but failed to make them count and were punished by Maguire’s late header.

Despite salvaging something from the game, United have won only three of their first 10 matches of the season and, for the fourth European away game in a row, they failed to win despite having scored three goals.
