Two goals in two Premier League games for Nicolas Jackson, but two chances spurned in stoppage time here to ensure the questions over Chelsea’s nominal line-leader are going nowhere heading into the season’s first international break.
The first was no sitter, skewed into the side-netting on an awkward angle as Chelsea pushed for a late winner, having seen Eberechi Eze’s curler draw Crystal Palace level midway through the second half. The second, though, had to go in, Jackson bearing down on goal but thwarted by the arm of Dean Henderson, who was outstanding all afternoon.
