Image caption, Nicolas Jackson has seven goals in 12 Premier League games this seasonIt's remarkable to think that, just six months ago, there was talk that Chelsea were attempting a cash plus Nicolas Jackson swap deal for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
No deal materialised and, although Isak remains impactful on Tyneside, Chelsea have their own star in 23-year-old Jackson, who was the driving force behind the 2-1 victory at Leicester City.
The Senegal forward opened the scoring in the 15th minute and set up in Enzo Fernandez's second-half goal.
