Erling Haaland, Nicolas Jackson and Darwin Nunez,
CHELSEA striker Nicolas Jackson was cheered as he exited the pitch at Wolves last Sunday to be replaced by Noni Madueke.
But this was not an appreciation of a job well done — rather, a less friendly celebration of the fact he was being removed from the game by his manager, Mauricio Pochettino.
Jackson had scored in the previous game against Sheffield United, his eighth goal since joining Chelsea from Villarreal for £32 million in the summer, but also his only goal in his most recent seven starts, including a goalless outing against Crystal Palace at Staford Bridge on Wednesday.
