Filip Jorgensen had to make sharp stops either side of the break.
Jackson came on and pounced on a mix-up at the back and then fired home his second to put Chelsea four clear.
The home fans had omething to cheer when 18-year-old Isak Alemayehu headed in his first senior goal.
Adam Stahl badly miscued from close range when Djurgarden had a chance to further cut the deficit.
The result sees Enzo Maresca’s men take a huge step towards booking their place in the May 28 final in Warsaw.
