“He’s too strong to handle” “He will help Chelsea alot” – Michail Antonio blames Chelsea star for making him struggle in 3-0 win over West Ham
Nicolas Jackson fired Chelsea to a 3-0 win against West Ham as the Senegal striker repaid his manager’s faith with a decisive double at the London Stadium on Saturday.
Jackson struck twice in the first half before Cole Palmer wrapped up Chelsea’s third win in five Premier League games under new boss Enzo Maresca.
It was a well-timed brace from Jackson, who was chosen as Chelsea’s first-choice striker by Maresca on Friday, despite Christopher Nkunku’s match-winning impact against Bournemouth last weekend.
Although Jackson signed a contract extension earlier in September that will keep the Senegal star at Stamford Bridge until 2033, there were calls for Nkunku to start after the French forward came off the bench to score in the 1-0 win against Bournemouth.
Nonetheless, Moises Caicedo performed admirably the entire game, and Michail Antonio, the attacker for West Ham, blamed Moises Caicedo for keeping the midfield so tight that it prevented him from getting close to Chelsea.
Michail Antonio said after the match: “Moises Caicedo will really helped Chelsea alot he’s so strong in that midfield, was trying all means to pass through him but make it more difficult for me to get through him”
“Chelsea will go a long way if he stays more fitted” He stated.
