Nicolas Jackson was the star of the show as Chelsea romped to a 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night to end the hosts' unbeaten run.
Chelsea marched to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and came away with all three points thanks to a combination of several factors including a first hat-trick for Chelsea new boy Nicolas Jackson.
After missing several chances, the Senegal international finally punished the Tottenham defence, capitalising on the numerical advantage.

Was Chelsea’s first ‘statement win’ under Pochettino a step backward?
Mauricio Pochettino’s men could have been 2-0 down after 15 minutes, struggled to capitalise when it was 11v10 and 11v9, and could have been pegged back when they led 2-1. The unconvincing 4-1 victory for Chelsea raises doubts about this team’s direction of travel.

Speaking after the victory, Jackson said:
"I scored a hat-trick for the biggest club in England — and everywhere!”
Tottenham had defenders Cuti Romero and Udogie sent off and the game went downhill from there as Chelsea cut through the hosts at will.
