Nicolas Jackson has sparked discussions with his hilarious goal celebration as Chelsea fans demand striker ‘explain’ reason behind his moves.
Chelsea cruised past West Ham in their Saturday early kick-off encounter at the Olympic stadium to record a convincing 3-0 victory over the Hammers.
Jackson was the star of the show as the Senegalese scored a brace in his 5oth appearance for the Blues.
But it was his celebration after his first goal that grabbed more attention.
After being hounded by his Chelsea teammate, the 23-year-old attacker faced the camera to channel his inner Michael Jackson, revealing his new dance routine.
The legendary dance was initially unveiled by the King of Pop in the music video for his eponymous 1983 song.
Fans react to Nicolas Jackson’s goal celebration
Fans were left stunned on social media, with one commenting: “Jackson has to explain that celebration.”
Another wrote,”Jackson doing the ‘Thriller’ celebration for his goal. I love this guy.”
Meanwhile, a third asked “Nicolas Jackson just bagged again for Chelsea and dropped the ‘Thriller’ celebration… Is it time to have a conversation?”
The Senegalese seems to have unleashed his scoring potential, having been criticised for his wastefulness in front of goal.
Club legend John Mikel Obi had questioned the striker’s goal-scoring abilities after the Blues lost their league opener to Manchester City, a remark which the Senegalese international did not welcome with open arms as he fired back the following week.
Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien is the latest to delve into the discus, taking sides with the Senegal international.
With his latest performance resulting in a brace and an assist, Nicola Jackson will be looking to continue with his impressive form as he looks to prove Mikel wrong and establish himself as a ‘Chelsea-worthy’ striker.
