“He’s truly proof that his signing worth it, very sharp” — Joe Hart amazed bywhat Chelsea player did in the victory against Aston VillaChelsea delivered one of their best performances of the season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge. Goals from Nicolas Jackson, Enzo Fernandez, and Cole Palmer secured the three points, as the Blues dominated the game with energy, precision, and flair.
Nicolas Jackson’s Impact:
The 23-year-old striker continues to impress in Chelsea’s attack, scoring his eighth Premier League goal of the season with a sharp left-footed finish. Former goalkeeper Joe Hart praised Jackson’s clinical nature for the opener, stating:
“It was a sharp finish… Chelsea are on it, big finish from the edge of the box. No saving that one.”
Jackson’s ability to lead the line with enthusiasm and quality has been a key asset for Chelsea this season. His work rate, combined with improved finishing under manager Enzo Maresca, has made him a perfect fit for the Blues’ system.
Jackson’s Performance Stats (via FOTMOB):
- Match rating: 7.5
- Minutes played: 71
- Goals: 1
- Total shots: 3
- Touches in opposition box: 9
- Big chances missed: 1
- Pass accuracy: 76% (13/17)
- Chances created: 1
While Jackson missed one big opportunity, his involvement and energy were pivotal throughout the match. Compared to Villa’s Ollie Watkins, Jackson looked the more polished and effective forward, outshining his counterpart in the battle of the strikers.
Enzo Maresca’s Success:
Maresca’s influence on Chelsea is evident, with the team looking more cohesive and effective under his management. The Blues have now won 13 of their 21 matches across all competitions this season, showcasing their progress and tactical improvement.
With Jackson’s form and a well-balanced team performance, Chelsea fans can dream of having a striker capable of surpassing the 20-goal mark in the Premier League for the first time since Diego Costa’s exploits in 2016/17. If Jackson continues his upward trajectory, that milestone could well be within reach.
