Confined to the bench during the Senegal-Burundi match, Nicolas Jackson and Ismaila Sarr marked their return to the club. The two Senegalese attackers were decisive in the Premier League championship.
After opening his goal counter against Malawi, Nicolas Jackson set a record this Saturday after his 7th goal scored against Leicester (1-2) as part of the 12th day. With 21 goals scored in 47 matches played in the Premier League since his arrival at Chelsea last season, Nicolas Jackson has managed to overtake Hernan Crespo in the ranking of the Blues’ top scorers in the English championship. The former Argentine striker who spent three seasons at Stamford Bridge (2003-2006) remained at 20 goals scored in 49 matches played. Which sets him up for good momentum for the rest of the season.
Less successful in the selection and even under the spotlight of criticism, Ismaila Sarr made a convincing comeback by wearing Chrystal Palace this Saturday, November 23. Even if his team did better than a draw on the lawn of Aston Villa (2-2). The Senegalese striker got his team going by shaking the net in the 4th minute. He will confirm his good performance by delivering a decisive pass for his team’s 2nd goal. Enough to give him, undoubtedly, more confidence for the next outings of Chrystal Palace which remains for the moment relegated with 8 points.
