In light of Chelsea’s dominant 5-0 victory over West Ham United, former Senegalese forward Demba Ba applauded his compatriot, Nicolas Jackson.
Jackson’s impressive two-goal performance in the match took his season tally to 16 goals in 41 appearances across various competitions.
Despite facing criticism from Chelsea fans due to recent lackluster displays, Jackson’s stellar brace has altered perceptions of him within the football community.
Sharing a post on X, Ba highlighted the sudden shift in how people now view Jackson following his exceptional performance against West Ham.
Ba’s message read, “The unpredictability of football is truly remarkable. Nicolas Jackson, previously doubted by many after missing several opportunities in a prior game, has now emerged as a formidable footballer and goal scorer. Continue to excel and shine, my young brother.”
Alongside Jackson, Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, and Noni Madueke also found the net for Chelsea against West Ham.
