His goal not only silenced critics but also placed him alongside some of the club’s modern greats in the record books.
Jackson ends drought and joins elite Chelsea company
After a frustrating spell filled with injuries and missed opportunities, Nicolas Jackson’s tears told the whole story when he finally found the back of the net against Everton.
)
According to Tom Coley of Football.London, Jackson’s goal means he has now scored ten Premier League goals this season, an achievement that puts him in a rare position at Chelsea.
He becomes the first Chelsea striker since Diego Costa to hit double figures in consecutive seasons, something even big-money signings like Romelu Lukaku and Kai Havertz couldn’t manage.
Even more impressively, across all positions, only Eden Hazard and Cole Palmer have matched that feat for Chelsea recently.
)
It’s an incredible turnaround for a player who, despite his obvious talents, has struggled with consistency and confidence since arriving at Stamford Bridge.
Jackson looking to build on Chelsea form
From the moment Nicolas Jackson signed for Chelsea, it was clear he was a raw, exciting talent who would need time to refine his game.
)
His explosive speed, technical ability, and knack for getting into dangerous areas have always been evident, but the streakiness in his form raised legitimate concerns. Now, after such a long barren run, Jackson’s stunning goal against Everton might just light the fuse for a strong end to the season.
While his record-breaking moment puts him in the same conversation as club legends like Hazard and new heroes like Palmer, the real opportunity for Jackson lies ahead.
)
If he can ride this wave of confidence, Chelsea might finally see the finished product they envisioned when they took a gamble on this rough diamond.
