Nicolas Jackson Breaks 13-Game Goal Drought with Stunning Strike Against Everton

Nicolas Jackson Ends His Goal Drought with a Stunning Strike for Chelsea

Nicolas Jackson has finally broken his long goal drought — and it couldn’t have come at a better time for Chelsea.

The striker had gone 13 games without finding the back of the net and had clearly been struggling for confidence. His performance against Fulham last week was particularly tough to watch, as he looked hesitant, unsure, and often second-guessing himself in front of goal.

But against Everton, Jackson showed a completely different side of himself. After weeks of frustration, he finally had the courage to take on a shot from distance — and it paid off in style.

The move started when Romeo Lavia won the ball back brilliantly in midfield. His strong tackle sent the ball rolling perfectly into the path of Enzo Fernandez, who wasted no time playing a quick pass to Jackson. The striker took one touch to steady himself before drilling a low shot into the far corner of the net. It was a cool and confident finish — exactly what Chelsea fans had been hoping to see from him for months.

Jackson has had a very up-and-down career at Chelsea so far, often scoring goals in bunches before going on long dry spells. But this moment could be the turning point he needed. With a wave of confidence now behind him, he might just hit a run of form that could help Chelsea finish the season strong — and maybe even grab another goal in the same game.

Of course, scoring first is only half the battle. Chelsea have been guilty in the past of throwing away leads, so nothing can be taken for granted yet. However, with the home crowd now energized and the team smelling the opportunity for three vital points in the race for Champions League qualification, the Blues are in a good position to finish the job.

Everton, managed by David Moyes, remain a tough and well-organized side. They may not have much left to play for this season, but they’re still motivated and won’t give up easily. Another goal from Chelsea, however, could break their spirit and put the game beyond reach.

If Jackson’s goal marks the start of a strong run of form, Chelsea fans can dare to dream of a strong finish to the season — and maybe even a top-five spot.
