Nicolas Jackson has not only distinguished himself with a brilliant assist for Cole Palmer’s opening goal against Bournemouth — he is also the author of the biggest miss of the game so far.
The Chelsea striker skied the right from the six-yard line after Noni Madueke’s cutback.
However, the video close-up shows that Madueke somehow made the ball bounce so violently that Jackson was effectively volleying the ball.
That does not completely excuse the miss but at least partly explains it.
