Nicolas Jackson has hit out at Chelsea and Nigeria football legend Mikel Obi after scoring the opening goal in Chelsea’s 6-2 win over Wolves, MySportDab reports.
Renowned football social media platform, 433, noted that Jackson’s goal against Wolves was the fastest Premier League goal since 2017.
Reacting to the post by 433 about the goal, Jackson used the opportunity to blast Mikel Obi for his remarks after Chelsea’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the opening weekend.
Recall Mikel Obi had blamed Chelsea’s defeat to Manchester City for lack of a good and clinical finisher in the final third, with a particular mention of Jackson’s underwhelming performance in the match.
Commenting on beinSPORT, Obi said;
“We’ve played okay, not perfectly, but okay,’ he said. ‘We created chances but didn’t take them. Jackson’s finishing is a prime example.
“Even though he was offside, you could see how he dribbled past one, two, three players and the way he struck the ball!’ He continued,
”You need a striker who knows how to put the ball in the back of the net, and that’s what we’re lacking. I know I talk a lot about him, and it might sound like I’m being disrespectful, but I’m not.
Reacting to the comment after scoring against Wolves, Jackson wrote and tagged Mikel Obi on his Instagram story;
“Shut your mouth. Don’t talk shit. We are killing ourselve for Africa.”
Nicolas Jackson, who scored an offside goal and missed a golden chance against City, made amends in the 6-2 trouncing of Wolves at the Molineaux stadium.
The Senegalese struck just two minutes into the game, heading home a Wesley Fofana’s flick from Cole Palmer’s corner to give the Blues the lead.
Matheus Cunha would equalise for the home side three minutes before the half-hour but Cole Palmer restored the lead at the stroke of the first half.
The goal rain continued before the break. At the last touch of the ball in the first-half added time, Larsen scored the equaliser again for Wolves.
Larsen’s strike would be Wolves last goal in the match with Chelsea running riot over the hosts in the second half. A hat-trick of assist by Cole Palmer led to a hat-trick of goals by Noni Madueke as the Blues steamrollered to a thumping win.
New signing from Atletico Madrid Joao Felix completed the rout for the visitors, scoring ten minute before regulation time to make it a 6-2 victory for the away side.
While Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer stole the show with a five-star performances, Nicolas Jackson’s performance did not go unnoticed as well with his record-breaking goal.
And the footballer used the opportunity to silence his critics like Mikel Obi, blasting the Chelsea legend for unfair criticism after the Man City loss.
