Chelsea star Nicolas Jackson was once again in the thick of the action today as his team came through an FA Cup classic.
The Blues are in the hat for the FA Cup semi-finals after Sunday’s 4-2 win at home to Leicester City.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side blew a two-goal lead to enter the final stages at Stamford Bridge locked together at 2-2. However, Chelsea’s cup journey continues after netting twice in stoppage time against 10-man Leicester.
Nicolas Jackson, 22, lead the line superbly well for Chelsea this weekend.
The centre-forward wasn’t able to add to his tally of 12 goals so far this season, but it was his clever assist that helped break the deadlock.
In addition, the game changed when Callum Doyle was sent off for the visitors when he fouled Jackson.
The Sun claimed earlier this week that Jackson has made changes to his diet as he bids to improve at Chelsea.

We think his all-round game looks really neat and he knits the play together very effectively. Therefore, we could have a special striker on our hands if he finds his shooting boots most games.
