Nicolas Jackson! What a header โฆ makes up for his 1 v 1 miss and tripping over the ball. Great cross from Gusto, perfect finish. #CFC
1-0 Chelsea. Deep cross from Gusto which Jackson heads past Flekken.
Lucky escape for Brentford. Pushed high up the pitch and Chelsea exposed the huge space they left behind. Jackson strode into the box, tried a stepover and the ball bounced off him towards Flekken.
