EPL: He was superb – Cahill praises Chelsea star after 3-0 win

Former Chelsea defender, Gary Cahill has heaped praise on striker Nicolas Jackson following the Blues’ Premier 3-0 win over West Ham United on Saturday.

Cahill said the Senegal international was superb against West Ham at the London Stadium.

Recall that a brace from Jackson and a goal from Cole Palmer gave Chelsea the victory over the Hammers.

Jackson was also named man of the match for his performance during the encounter.

“He [Jackson] is a young boy, he is still learning,” Cahill said on NBC Sports.

“I liked his game today for a number of reasons: his finishes and the two goals that he scored, of course, but I liked the way he was willing to run in behind, he was dropping deep at times to link up the play.

“I thought his all-round play was superb. He looks a confident boy so I don’t think that noise around him will bother him too much and it’s all about doing his talking on the pitch.

“His numbers are looking good at the moment.”
