Nicolas Jackson’s double seals emphatic win for Chelsea against West Ham
The end is coming for David Moyes at a miserable West Ham, but Mauricio Pochettino is just getting started. European football is on the cards after Chelsea cruised through their second London derby in the space of three days and, for all the doubts hanging over Pochettino’s future, it would surely go down as an act of extraordinary self-sabotage if the Argentinian’s bosses make a change this summer.
The main takeaway from this emphatic 5-0 win over a wretched West Ham is that something is beginning to stir at Stamford Bridge. Instead of crumbling after last month’s 5-0 defeat to Arsenal, Chelsea have responded by impressing in each of their past three games. Far from shrinking, these young players are starting to grow and mature. Above all, they are starting to resemble a team and, after a season so full of turbulence, the wisest thing that Chelsea’s owners can do now would be to accept that Pochettino is the man for the job.
