Chelsea secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brentford in the 16th round of the Premier League.
The goals for Enzo Maresca’s side came from Marc Cucurella and Nicolas Jackson.
The Senegalese forward now holds the record for the most goals scored from open play in the Premier League since the start of the 2023/24 season. Jackson has netted 23 goals, overtaking Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who has scored 22.
This season, the 23-year-old striker has been in stellar form, registering 9 goals and 3 assists in 16 league appearances.
Chelsea currently sits second in the Premier League standings after 16 matches. The “Blues” hold a four-point lead over Arsenal but trail Liverpool by two points, having played one game more.
