Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson has sharply responded to former midfielder Mikel Obi’s criticism by telling him to “shut his mouth.” Mikel had criticized Jackson’s performance against Manchester City, suggesting that Chelsea should consider Victor Osimhen as an alternative due to missed chances.
Jackson answered on the pitch with a stunning performance, scoring Chelsea’s opening goal in their 6-2 victory over Wolves and marking the club’s fastest Premier League goal since 2017. Celebrating his goal, Jackson addressed Mikel’s remarks directly on Instagram, saying, “Mikel Obi, shut your mouth, don’t talk sh*t, we are killing ourselves for Africa.”
The Senegalese forward’s early goal came just two minutes into the match, showcasing his impact and determination.
