Nicolas Jackson had to be physically removed from the field as the match concluded between Chelsea and Everton, marking Chelsea’s second Premier League loss of the week.

Despite Mauricio Pochettino’s team’s efforts, they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat against Everton, courtesy of goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin.

Post-match, tensions escalated as Jackson, the Chelsea forward, had to be restrained by Pochettino to prevent a potential expulsion after the game.

According to reports from The Evening Standard, there was a confrontation looming involving the Senegalese striker after the match.

Pochettino and his assistants intervened, ushering Jackson away from the situation and guiding him towards the tunnel to avoid any further trouble.

Despite Jackson’s reluctance, one of Pochettino’s assistants continued to escort him off the pitch amid concerns of him being handed a red card.

The Chelsea team was deeply concerned about Jackson facing a suspension, especially with a congested fixture list during the busy festive period. With only two recognized strikers, Jackson and Armando Broja, in the squad, losing Jackson to a suspension would have meant his absence in the next three critical matches against Sheffield United, Wolves, and Crystal Palace.

Pochettino remains optimistic about his team’s capabilities in these upcoming games but hopes for Jackson’s improved performance in front of goal.

The manager expressed disappointment in their lack of scoring prowess, emphasizing the need for clinical finishing in matches.

He acknowledged the team’s better performance but lamented the failure to secure the desired outcome against Everton.

Pochettino highlighted the necessity to address their shortcomings and strive for improvement, hinting at potential discussions and strategies for the upcoming transfer window.
