Jackson is delighted to bag first Chelsea hat-trick after a 'difficult' start

Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson has reflected on his first professional hat-trick for the Blues, stating he is happy to hit the milestone while playing for 'the biggest club in England'.

Jackson scored three goals in the space of 22 minutes to help Mauricio Pochettino's beat Tottenham 4-1 in a chaotic night that saw fives goals disallowed, two red cards awarded and a penalty granted.

Not only did Jackson help Chelsea beat Tottenham, he also made history in the process. The 22-year-old became the first player to score a hat-trick against Tottenham in the Premier League since Hasselbaink in 2002.

Jackson also pulled out three different celebrations on Monday evening. He was seen blowing kisses to the Tottenham fans after the first goal, replicating Marcus Rashford's celebration after the second and pulling out Cristiano Ronaldo's 'SIU' afer the third.

Jackson said he was delighted to help Chelsea claim all three points but insisted he needed to 'improve and work harder' to help the Blues succeed after their 'difficult' start to the season.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Jackson said: 'I am very happy and it has been a difficult time for everybody in the team.

'We are coming back really slowly and happy to have scored three goals. It's my first hat-trick, so I am happy to have done it with the biggest club in England and everywhere.

'I need to always improve and work harder. We continue working. Tottenham have an amazing stadium and amazing fans, so we needed to fight and win the game.'

'It was really difficult as they continued to maintain their line. We have quality players to give us the ball and we won. We were dreaming about winning the big games and the confidence within the team is coming really slowly.'
