Chelsea fans cheer when flop is subbed off as he endures Christmas Eve to forget against Wolves

CHELSEA fans cheered with joy after Nicolas Jackson was subbed off during the 2-1 loss at Molineux.

The Blues endured another miserable defeat following goals by Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty, despite Christopher Nkunku scoring his first ever goal for the West Londoners.

Mauricio Pochettino’s misfiring stars wasted another raft of opportunities, with Jackson specifically failing to beat the hosts’ goalkeeper Jose Sa in three different one-on-one situations.

The striker should have scored in the eighth minute when he found himself in front of Sa but took way too long.

The Senegal international then failed to get a touch in the penalty area on 21 minutes that would have set him up against the Wolves goalkeeper again.

The 22-year-old also took ages after 55 minutes when he only had the Portugal international to beat.

Jackson‘s frustrating performance came to an end in the 80th minute when he was subbed for Noni Madueke.

And the Senegalese ace’s exodus was greeted by Chelsea fans ironically cheering as they were happy with Pochettino’s decision to take him off.

Fans also took to social media to congratulate the Argentinian tactician’s move.

One supporter tweeted: “Did the Chelsea fans just cheer Jackson getting subbed off there…? That would be deserved. He’s actively hurt the team today.”

And that one wrote: “CHEERS FROM THE CHELSEA SUPPORTERS AS JACKSON IS REMOVED.”
