🪄 In-form Jackson heaps more misery on Leicester after injury blow

It was always going to be an uphill battle for Leicester when they faced an in-form Chelsea side after the international break.

And if that wasn't enough in itself, the Foxes lost Harry Winks to injury after less than 12 minutes played.

The visitors didn't take long to pounce, as Nicolas Jackson broke into the box after a slick interchange with Enzo Fernandez, before finishing with the outside of his boot.

The in-form Senegalese star is already becoming a fan favourite among the Chelsea fans, and it's easy to see why.

With 21 goals, Jackson has now scored more for the Blues than Hernán Crespo (20) and Fernando Torres, even though he has played 63 fewer times than the Spaniard.

Only Erling Haaland (31) and Ollie Watkins (24) have scored more non-penalty goals in the Premier League since the start of last season than Nicolas Jackson (21). Today's game is only Jackson's 82nd top-flight league appearance (he's scored 33 goals overall in those games).
