Jackson on facing Tottenham
Nicolas Jackson is excited to go head-to-head with Tottenham once again as the Senegalese striker prepares for Thursday night’s London derby. When the 22-year-old first faced Spurs, he struck a memorable hat-trick in north London as the Blues romped to a 4-1 victory.
Jackson acknowledged the importance of that victory and believes Chelsea will have to be at their best to replicate a similar feat at Stamford Bridge this time round. ‘It was an amazing night,’ Jackson told Chelsea’s club website.
“I was still quite new and I didn’t know until I scored the hat-trick how important it was for the club. It was a big, big derby and I was very happy. Every time I sleep it’s in my head, the hat-trick. So good memories in their stadium I hope we create the same memories in our stadium. We are going to fight because London derbies are not easy.
“Last week we lost one and we don’t want that to happen again. So we’re going to fight as a team, fight for the club, and it’s a derby that is very important for the club and the players. We are going to fight for it. We will try to do it as a team, one family, and try to make the supporters happy.”
