Jackson's Wild Elbow Ends Chelsea Hopes

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson saw red against Newcastle United during Premier League match day 36. The referee sent him off after he used his elbow on Newcastle defender Sven Botman at St James Park. Chelsea must play their final two league games without the Senegalese forward this season. His absence comes as the team fights for a top-four finish. Jackson already struggled with his scoring form before this happened.

The former Villarreal player joined Chelsea last summer with high hopes from fans. His red card makes a hard season even worse for the London club. Chelsea lost the match 2-0 against Newcastle after playing with ten men. Jackson can return for cup games, but his league season ended early. The Blues must find someone else to lead their attack for the remaining matches.
