Nicolas Jackson, the struggling forward for Chelsea, faced a disappointing moment during Tuesday’s match as he inadvertently stopped his own header. The Gunners quickly took the lead, with Leandro Trossard scoring just four minutes into the game. Despite winning the header, Jackson accidentally blocked his own attempt with his raised arm, prompting criticism from fans.
Shortly after Arsenal’s goal, Jackson made a late challenge on Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, which went unnoticed by the referee and VAR. This incident added to Chelsea’s struggles as they found themselves 3-0 down. On the hour mark, Jackson had another chance to score but missed the opportunity, with co-commentator Ally McCoist questioning his decision not to go across the goalkeeper.
