The Blues maintained their perfect away record in this season's Premier League after a quickfire brace from an in-form Nicolas Jackson and a goal from Cole Palmer saw them put the game beyond the home side within 47 minutes. West Ham might have had a penalty at 2-0 when Wesley Fofana grabbed hold of Crysencio Summerville inside the 18-yard box just before the half-hour mark but a VAR review decided the alleged foul had only been 'fleeting'. But the Hammers can have no complaints about the scoreline after a lacklustre display left them on just four points from their first five matches. Now former boss Moyes has slammed his successor in the London Stadium hotseat in a post-match discussion on be IN Sports.   David Moyes has given a brutal assessment of West Ham's performance after they slipped to a 3-0 loss to Chelsea The Blues maintained their perfect away record in this season's Premier League after a quickfire brace from an in-form Nicolas Jackson and a goal from Cole Palmer  Moyes also aimed a subtle dig at his successor in the London Stadium hotseat Julen Lopetegui He said: 'I thought it was a poor performance and they'll be disappointed, because we had a pretty good record against Chelsea at the London Stadium over the years.

On the pitch it felt quite easy to play through [us], a disappointing day all-round.   'Of course, as a player and captain you have to lead and rally everyone together. We gave them too much respect in the end.   'Disappointing day, we accept the defeat. The game is done and we put it to bed and see what we can improve on.   Jackson scored two goals inside the opening 18 minutes at the London Stadium Palmer then wrapped up the points by scoring Chelsea's third goal just after half-time Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has seen his team win three straight away games in the league It was an enjoyable day for the travelling Chelsea supporters at Stratford's London Stadium 'Games are coming thick and fast to put it right.
