SPORTS NEWS; – Senegalese forward Nicolas Jackson has issued a pointed response to former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel following Chelsea’s emphatic 6-2 triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers. This victory followed a challenging beginning to the season, which included a defeat against Manchester City.
Mikel had previously criticized Jackson for failing to capitalize on crucial chances during the match against City, raising concerns about the team’s trajectory under the new management of Enzo Maresca. Jackson, who has faced scrutiny for his erratic finishing since his transfer from Villarreal to Chelsea, made a notable comeback by netting the opening goal against Wolves.
In the aftermath of the match, Jackson took to Instagram to address Mikel’s remarks, urging him to “shut your mouth” and suggesting that there may be a concerted effort among Africans to undermine players from the continent.
