Senegal forward, Nicolas Jackson, has surpassed Chelsea legend Didier Drogba's first-season goal tally after scoring in the Blues 2-0 victory over Tottenham on Thursday.
Jackson has received massive criticism for being wasteful in front of goal this season, with fans unhappy with his first-season output.
However, the former Villareal star seems to be discovering his goal-scoring form after netting his 11th of the campaign against Spurs.
He now beats legendary forward Drogba's first-season tally by one goal in the Premier League, with four games remaining to end the campaign, per FootballTalkHQ.
