Nicolas Jackson Scores First Goal After 13 Games for Chelsea

London, England — Nicolas Jackson ended a 13-game goal drought by scoring for Chelsea in their match against Everton.

The striker has struggled with confidence in recent weeks, with his performance against Fulham noted as particularly low. Jackson was hesitant, often second-guessing himself on the pitch.

This time, he seized an opportunity to strike from outside the penalty area, a move that paid off with a well-placed goal. Romeo Lavia won the ball in midfield, quickly setting up the attack. Lavia’s tackle allowed Enzo Fernandez to pass the ball to Jackson, who controlled it with one touch before shooting low into the far corner.

“He’s been incredibly streaky in his Chelsea career so far,” a team source commented. “Hopefully this change in fortunes triggers a wave of goals to carry us to the end of the season.”

Jackson’s goal excited the home crowd and raised hopes for securing crucial points in the battle for a Champions League position.

Despite Everton being a well-organized team under manager David Moyes, chasing a second goal could demoralize the Toffees and solidify Chelsea’s strong position in the top five race.
