Nicolas Jackson shows off new Olympics-inspired celebration after scoring for Chelsea in Premier League clash with Crystal Palace

The Senegalese forward scored his second goal of the 2024/25 season as he handed Chelsea the lead against Crystal Palace on Sunday at Stamford Bridge. In the 25th minute of the match, Noni Madueke initiated a quick counter-attack down the right flank before he found Cole Palmer with a through ball. The England international then squared the ball towards his left as Jackson found the back of the net with a simple tap-in.

After breaking the deadlock, the 23-year-old imitated Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec - while celebrating the goal. Dikec went viral for his relaxed style of competition which won him the silver medal at the 10m air pistol mixed team event at the Paris Olympics 2024.

Jackson, who joined the Blues from Villarreal last summer, enjoyed an impressive debut campaign at Stamford Bridge. He was the club's second-highest scorer after Cole Palmer with 17 strikes to his name across all competitions. The forward picked up where he left off last season as after scoring in Chelsea's big win over Wolves last week, he has again managed to find the back of the net against the Eagles.

While the West London side finally announced Jadon Sancho's arrival from Manchester United on Sunday, the English winger was not included in Enzo Maresca's matchday squad. Sancho, though, was unveiled on the pitch before kick off.

Maresca's side will hope to hold on to their lead in the second half and register their second consecutive win in the Premier League this season.
