• Nicolas Jackson has beaten Didier Drogba's first-season tally
• The Senegal star netted his 11th goal of the season in the EPL
• Jackson helped Chelsea to victory in their game vs Tottenham

Senegal forward, Nicolas Jackson, has surpassed Chelsea legend Didier Drogba's first-season goal tally after scoring in the Blues 2-0 victory over Tottenham on Thursday.

Jackson has received massive criticism for being wasteful in front of goal this season, with fans unhappy with his first-season output.

However, the former Villareal star seems to be discovering his goal-scoring form after netting his 11th of the campaign against Spurs.

He now beats legendary forward Drogba's first-season tally by one goal in the Premier League, with four games remaining to end the campaign, per FootballTalkHQ.

Meanwhile, the victory over Tottenham keeps Chelsea's hopes of a European place finish alive with four games remaining although the UEFA Champions League is out of reach, per Live Score.
