Against the Brighton Seagulls, Nicolas Jackson started at the front of the Chelsea Blues attack. He had a very good first period, providing an assist on the first-half goal scored by Levi Colvill.
In the second half, he struggled more, particularly because Conor Gallagher was sent off just before the break and Chelsea had to retreat to defend their advantage. He will be replaced in the 72nd minute by Ian Maatsen.

His performance was, however, judged differently by the English press. If some judged that he was average, others think that the Senegalese had his best match with the Blues, even ahead of the match against Tottenham where he scored a hat-trick. Here are his notes and the assessments of the various English media consulted by SeneNews.
Nicolas Jackson – Did very well for Colwill’s goal. He headed the ball towards the danger area and it was now an easy task for Colwill. Other than that, he was pretty quiet. 6. Football London

Nicolas Jackson – 6. Made some nice touches early on and set up Colwill’s header, but didn’t look like a goal threat. The Standard
Nicolas Jackson (7/10): Probably his best performance in a Chelsea shirt, which is a strange thing to say given he’s already scored a hat-trick. Led the line competently and had an assist. However, there are still some oversights that need to be corrected. GOAL

Nicolas Jackson – 7/10 – Worked hard for the team and his link-up play in the box was excellent, but struggled to connect effectively with teammates in deeper positions and when carrying the ball. 90min
Nicolas Jackson-7: Unlucky not to have won a few fouls in the first half. Should get an assist for Colwill’s goal. I always looked dangerous on the counter. London World
Nicolas Jackson: Energetic, but lacking depth of play (7/10). Eplindex
