Nicolas Jackson etched his name in the annals of history by notching a remarkable hat trick during the London derby against Tottenham.
Criticism from Chelsea supporters had been mounting due to his perceived lack of confidence in front of the goal since the commencement of the 2023/24 football season. However, he silenced his detractors by netting the last three goals of the game against Spurs, with his first coming in the 75th minute and the other two arriving in the final five minutes.
Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, responded to Jackson’s impressive performance, which elevated his league tally to five goals in 11 Premier League matches. Pochettino commented, “It’s all about building his confidence. We understand the immense pressure on a young striker joining a club like Chelsea. I hope this hat trick helps him play with more ease and find the confidence he needs.”
Following the result against Spurs, Chelsea now stands in 10th place on the league table, having accumulated 15 points from its first 11 league matches. Chelsea supporters will be eager to see Jackson continue to find the back of the net as the season progresses. Their next challenge is against Manchester City in the league on Sunday, November 12, 2023.
