The Blues striker opened the scoring after just four minutes at the London Stadium.

Jackson raced clear down the left before forcing his way into the box and slipping the ball between Alphonse Areola’s legs.

After being mobbed by his Chelsea team-mates, the Senegal international faced the camera to reveal his new dance routine.

Channelling his inner Michael Jackson, he raised his arms and moved side to side with his own ‘Thriller’ dance.

The King of Pop first showed off the iconic routine in the music video for his 1983 hit of the same name.

Seen by many as the greatest music video of all-time, it features the singer turning into a zombie and dancing with a horde of the creatures.

Fans were left stunned on social media, with one commenting: “Jackson has to explain that celebration.”

Another added: “Jackson doing the ‘Thriller’ celebration for his goal. I love this guy.”

A third supporter even called for it to be added to EA FC25, writing: “Jackson calmly dropping that ‘Thriller’ celebration. @EA better take notes.”

Meanwhile, one more also asked: “Nicolas Jackson just bagged again for Chelsea and dropped the ‘Thriller’ celebration… Is it time to have a conversation?”

Jackson’s opener was his third of the season following strikes against Wolves and Crystal Palace already this term.

His afternoon got even better inside the first 20 minutes as he beat Areola once again to double Chelsea’s lead.

The strike put him within touching distance of his second hat-trick for the club.

He previously promised to recreate Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic ‘Siu’ celebration next time he scored a treble for the Blues.

Jackson emulated the five-time Ballon d’Or winner after clinching the match ball against Tottenham in November last year.

The 23-year-old also had a hand in his side’s third goal as he set up Cole Palmer to add to the scoring in the second half.
