Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson hit back at former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel following Chelsea’s 6-2 win over Wolves.
This victory came after a shaky start to the season, including a loss to Manchester City, which had sparked criticism from Mikel.
He had taken issue with Jackson’s missed chances during the City game and questioned the team’s direction under new manager Enzo Maresca.
However, Jackson silenced his critics by scoring Chelsea’s first goal against Wolves, marking a strong response to those doubting his finishing ability since his move from Villarreal.
After the match, Jackson responded to Mikel’s remarks on Instagram, telling him to “shut your mouth” and stating, “we are killing ourselves for Africa,” emphasizing his dedication to improving his performance.
