Rises up. Jackson nearly repeated Drogba's achievement from 19 years ago

Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson scored two goals against West Ham in the 5th round of the Premier League by the 18th minute, giving his team a comfortable early lead in the match.

Interestingly, this is the fastest double by a Chelsea player in a Premier League game since Didier Drogba's match against Middlesbrough in January 2005, when the legendary Ivorian took 17 minutes to score a brace.

Moreover, this is the earliest instance in which Chelsea have led an opponent by two goals in an away Premier League match since April 2022, against Southampton (16th minute).

The 23-year-old Jackson has a total of 4 goals in 5 Premier League matches this season.
