Nicolas Jackson continued his impressive run in the Premier League, netting his eighth goal of the season in Chelsea’s commanding 3-0 win against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon. The Senegalese striker gave Chelsea an early lead at Stamford Bridge, heading in a precise cross from Marc Cucurella on the left.
Jackson’s strike further cements his growing importance to the team, having now scored 11 goals and registered three assists in just 13 Premier League appearances this season.
Notably, with his goal from outside the penalty area, Jackson has now scored 22 such goals in the competition since the start of last season.
Only Erling Haaland (31 goals) and Ollie Watkins (25 goals) have netted more from outside the box during this period.
