Chelsea are now 4-0 up against Everton, with just 45 minutes played.
Cole Palmer struck a be…. wait, hold on, this wasn’t Palmer. This time he let one of the others have a go. Nicolas Jackson hasn’t been too involved so far, but this goal was a cracker.
Marc Cucurella dug out a cross from deep at the corner flag, and Jackson plucked it out of the air, swivelled and then struck it in at the near post.
There was something about the touch and the turn which reminded us of some of Didier Drogba’s best goals.
It’s important to spread the goals around. Hopefully this gets Jackson’s confidence up ahead of a MASSIVE FA Cup semi final this weekend. Now let’s get a few more players scoring!

“Hasnt been too involved?” Huh? Jackson already assisted one and all but assisted Palmer’s headed goal as it was Jackson’s parried shot that Palmer headed home. Jackson, in fact has been involved in almost every one of our most threatening attacks!
