Nicolas Jackson was on target for Chelsea in their 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur yesterday. Meanwhile, the Chelsea striker would have been competing for the Golden Boot if he was the club's designated penalty taker this season.
Jackson has been heavily criticized this season for the number of missed chances he had in front of goal. Meanwhile, his statistics so far haven't been bad at Chelsea. His pattern of play is a mixture of a playmaker and a striker.
Pochettino has said that the Senegal striker will come good and the fans need to be patient with him. Jackson will be looking to the London derby against West Ham United this Sunday to try and score another goal.
However, Nicolas Jackson is currently on 11 goals in the Premier League this season and he would have been competing for the Golden Boot if he was Chelsea's penalty taker. Cole Palmer who is the club's penalty taker has converted nine penalties this season and also has 11 non penalty goals like Jackson.
