Nicolas Jackson was undoubtedly the man of the match, as Chelsea defeated West Ham 3-0.

A brace and an assist for Cole Palmer rounded up a fine afternoon at the London Stadium for Jackson.

The 23-year-old striker celebrated his second goal with an ode to his namesake Michael Jackson.

According to Nicolas Jackson, he revealed the idea came to him during his sleep, and it was done in honour of the legendary pop star Michael Jackson.

Nicolas Jackson revealed his ‘Thriller’ goal celebration against West Ham was inspired by a dream he had two days ago.

Nicolas Jackson said: “It was to remember the legend Michael Jackson. I was dreaming about this so I just did it. I dreamt it two days ago so I just did it.”
