Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke had struck in the first half to make it a miserable afternoon for West Ham before Jackson killed off the game with an easy tap-in just three minutes after half-time.
talkSPORT pundit and former Arsenal star Perry Groves was at the match on Sunday and could not believe his eyes.
“There are five or six West Ham players that aren’t trying, they have lost their edge,” he said on air.
