• Cole Palmer was the star of the show, but in-form striker Nicolas Jackson produced an underwhelming performance
• The Senegal striker was visibly emotional after he was taken off and was in tears on the bench

Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in a breathtaking Premier League encounter.

The Blues went 2-0 down but mounted an incredible comeback to beat their London rivals 4-3.

Cole Palmer was on fire, but his teammate Nicolas Jackson failed to leave a mark in the game.

Emotional Jackson spotted on the bench

The Senegal international was expected to score against Tottenham and perhaps repeat last season's performance, in which he bagged a hat-trick.

He went into the Tottenham game after he was rested against Southampton. However, it wasn't his day.

Chelsea conceded twice in the first 11 minutes but pulled one back minutes later as the half ended 2-1. Two goals from Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez in the second half sealed the win. The win leaves the Blues second in the league with 31 points, four off leaders Liverpool.
