Following Chelsea’s 5-0 victory over West Ham on Sunday, Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has warned Manchester United and Newcastle United that Chelsea will fight for an European spot.

Jackson scored twice in Chelsea’s 5-0 demolition of West Ham which moved the Blues to seventh place, two points behind sixth-placed Newcastle United.

He said: “It was very positive from the team and we fought hard for the clean sheet too.

“We want to fight to go to Europe and we did it as a team today. We fought together to win the game.”

On his two goals, he added: “I expected he [Noni Madueke] would pass because we are close friends and team-mates. It was a very good assist from him.

“Every time I score VAR will try to interfere but I was very happy this time.”
