Our four-game run without a win in the Premier League has coincided with Jackson’s relatively lean spell in front of goal.

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, 23, joined the Blues from Spanish side Villarreal last summer and enjoyed a mixed debut season in...
