Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson responded strongly to criticism from former Blues midfielder Mikel Obi, who suggested that Jackson's performance against Manchester City was lackluster and that Chelsea should consider signing Victor Osimhen. Mikel's comments, which focused on Jackson missing too many chances during the match, were met with a firm rebuttal from the Senegalese forward.
Jackson silenced his critics by scoring Chelsea’s opening goal in their commanding 6-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. This goal was notable for being the club’s fastest Premier League goal since 2017, as Jackson found the back of the net within the first two minutes of the match.
After the game, Jackson took to social media to directly address Mikel Obi's remarks, writing, "Mikel Obi, shut your mouth, don’t talk sh*t, we are killing ourselves for Africa." His message highlighted his frustration with the criticism and defended his commitment to both his club and his continent.
Jackson's goal, a well-timed header at the back post, set the tone for Chelsea’s dominant performance. His response, both on and off the pitch, was a clear statement of intent, showcasing his determination to prove his worth as a key player for the team.
The incident has sparked discussions among fans and pundits alike, with some defending Jackson's outburst as a passionate defense of his abilities, while others question the wisdom of engaging in such public disputes.
