Tim Sherwood has claimed that Nicolas Jackson played like he's 'in Soccer Aid' during Chelsea's win over Brentford on Sunday night. The Blues moved up to second in the Premier League table after their 2-1 win over the Bess - thanks to goals from Marc Cucurella and Jackson.

However, despite his goal on the night, Senegalese forward Jackson came under scrutiny for missing a close range opportunity, instead firing it over the bar. After the match, Sherwood did not hold back in his criticisms of the forward and likened his abilities on the pitch to 'a rapper or an actor'.

Speaking on Premier League Productions, Sherwood said: ‘Not just today, I think all season, well, since I’ve seen Nicolas Jackson, he’s so unpredictable. 'At times he looks like someone playing in Soccer Aid who’s not a footballer. Look at this chance [Jackson’s miss from six yards], that looks like someone who is a rapper or an actor or something trying to play football.
Tim Sherwood ripped into one Chelsea star after their 2-1 win over Brentford on Sunday. Nicolas Jackson was the target of the criticism despite scoring the winning goal on the night. ‘But then all of a sudden he just turns it on. He’s such a threat because he tries to get in behind, he doesn’t mind if he misses chances because he knows his one will come.
‘But we’ll show you something now [for Jackson’s goal] which is undefendable, you can’t defend this. 'As soon as the ball turns over, Caicedo does brilliantly, and Enzo gives him the ball, once he’s in this position, not everyone can do this [run through and score], he’s got a talent to do this.
