Chelsea secured their fourth consecutive Premier League victory on Sunday, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 in a thrilling match. Despite the win, in-form striker Nicolas Jackson had a difficult game, while Cole Palmer starred with a standout performance. Jackson, who was expected to score after being rested in the previous match against Southampton, struggled throughout the game.
The Senegalese forward, who had impressed last season with a hat-trick against Tottenham, was unable to replicate that form. Chelsea found themselves 2-0 down within the first 11 minutes but fought back to make it 2-1 by halftime. Palmer’s two goals and Enzo Fernandez’s strike in the second half secured the comeback win, leaving Chelsea second in the league with 31 points, just four behind leaders Liverpool.
Jackson was substituted in the 76th minute for Christopher Nkunku, and his frustration was evident. He sat on the bench, visibly upset, covering his face and looking down. After the final whistle, Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, approached Jackson to offer him support with a heartfelt embrace, as the players applauded the fans.
