West Ham United entertained Chelsea at the London Stadium earlier today as they looked to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Hammers made a poor start to the game and conceded the opener in the fourth minute when Nicolas Jackson got his name on the scoresheet. Jackson scored again for the visitors in the 18th minute as Julen Lopetegui’s men went into the half-time break 2-0 down on the scoreline.
